Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Karabiner 98 kurz, also known as Karabiner 98k, Kar98k, or K98k, was a bolt-action rifle used by the German Wehrmacht. It was adopted as the standard service rifle on June 21, 1935. This rifle was chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge and was one of the final developments in the Mauser military rifles line. Although it was replaced by semi-automatic and fully automatic rifles during World War II, it remained the primary German service rifle until the war ended in 1945. After the war, many Karabiner 98k rifles were captured by the Soviets. They were widely distributed as military aid, so they continue to appear in conflicts worldwide as they are taken out of storage during times of strife.

In the 1930’s Portugal wanted to update its small arms inventory and replace its famous 1904 Mauser-Vegueiros. Portugal liked Mauser rifles and placed an order through Mauser Werke Germany for 100,000 K98K rifles in 8mm Mauser aka 7.92×57. This order was made and began delivery in 1937. In 1937 the first 50,000 units began shipping to Portugal and were designated m/937 and would be standard production rifles nearly identical besides crests to the rifles that the German Wehrmacht used. Portugal also received m/937A units in a quantity of 50,000 units which would have a few minor differences like an enlarged front sight and extra sling swivel. Portugal liked the rifles so much they placed an additional order for 50,000 units in 1941 in German military configuration. These models are the m/937B. Of these B units 60,000 were produced and 10,000 were requisitioned for German military use for the war effort.
