Law ignored svwMB production as many consider this code to be all French postwar manufactured. Law estimated 205,591 based on the known high svw 45 at the time being numbered 5593b. Here are examples from 1945 including Law's estimates, and why they're wrong: Mauser Oberndorf (byf/svw) His numbers from 1945 are the farthest off of any of the years due to all of the changes which were instituted late war by the different manufacturers. Below is the best I have seen it put into context: (information used with author Eric Davidson's permission, my additions in orange)įrom Mauser K98 Forum (member name Pisgah): (in regards to Backbone of the Wehrmacht production estimates for 1945 dated rifles) As they're estimates, they're all off to some extent. It is widely recognized that Backbone of the Wehrmacht is incorrect in it's total production figures for 1945 manufactured 98k's.
Case in point is 1945 date K98k production numbers. There is much information about WW2 German weapons out there- much of it is in excellent reference books such as Hitler's Garands and Backbone of the Wehrmacht- however, these are only guides, and not everything in them is correct.
