Ok Bob - here you go. This is the actual Mauser document that summarizes deliveries
of K98 per month for this period. Also the deliveries are broken down into solid (walnut)
and laminated (Buchen Schaft).
Why would Mauser want to break it down like that - simple, the cost was different between the solid wood stocked K98ks and the laminated version.
Of note is one really neat aspect of this document - the carryover (Ubertrag) from the previous years.
Up through March of 1938, Mauser Oberndorf delivered 550,419 K98ks. Interesting to say the least. Also look at August through Oct. of 1939.
A grand total of 564 K98ks with laminated stocks were delivered. This helps explain why there are so many more walnut stocked 1939
42 coded rifles versus laminated. A more than 2:1 ratio of walnut versus laminated for that year out of Oberndorf.
