The Mauser plant at Oberndorf, which had produced so many of the military weapons used in WW1, was greatly scaled down after the war to approximately 750 workers who were engaged in the production of sporting rifles and pistols. Among those are the M1903 Springfield, Winchester Model 70, M1917 Enfield, Savage Model 110. The Mauser rifle design has inspired some of the most popular firearms in the world. I have a complete set of photocopied blueprints of the well known Turkish Model 1903 rifle, of which over 200,000 were made over a 5 year period. Turkey, China, Serbia, Mexico, Costa Rica, and numerous South American countries ordered rifles of the Mauser design. By 1944, the number of employees at Oberndorf had skyrocketed to an amazing 12,000 people with production being concentrated on the Models 98K, Luger, P-38 and HSC. Paul, many folks on Gunboards have questioned over the years what various markings mean on Turkish rifles made by the Mauser firm. The Model 1938 rifles were standardised 8mm short rifle rebuilds of various older Mausers in Turkish service, including the Model 1893, Model 1903, Gewehr 98. The rest is in the words of Jon Speed, who is intimately familiar with Mauser Oberndorf and the German documents he possesses: 8x57 jrs (8mm mauser) k98k turkish mauser 1938 m38 m 38 1943 8mm not 98k k98 ww2 military c&r osgrt1124 littleton, co 80120: used: : 255.00 : other model turkish mauser m1893 ankara bolt action rifle 1938 8mm historic piece barrel length' neosho, mo 64850: used: : 302.

The actual documents relate to the Model 1903 Mauser made for the Turks, but Jon Speed states that the markings were used on earlier contracts, the Model 1887, Model 1890 and Model 1893 made for the Turks. What is a MAUSER K98 Rifle Worth A MAUSER K98 rifle is currently worth an average price of 1,166.75 used. Recently Jon Speed brought up a subject that both interesting and mysterious, the question of how Mauser Oberndorf handled the Turkish rifle contracts.
