Polish Karabinek wz.29 "Mauser"
Kbk wz.29 - produced 1930 to 1939 at FB Radom, total production 264,300.
Kbk wz.98/29 - produced 1927 to 1933, initially at Zbrojownia Nr 2 in Warsaw, and later moved to FB Radom (exact date unknown). Total production unknown. Made from German K98's given to Poland from WWI reparations. Look slightly different than wz.29.
Kbk wz.98e - export version, total of 143,000 exported. Of these, it appears that 7,900 were made from scrubbed wz.29's, and the remaining 135,100 came from the German 98K reparation rifles. Of these, we are unsure of how many went straight from K98 to wz.98e, and how many may have been scrubbed into a wz.29e from previously produced wz.98/29's.
Summary:
wz.29 - 264,300 rifles produced at FB Radom
wz.98/98 - 135,100 rifles produced between Warsaw and Radom which were exported plus whatever the Poles kept for themselves (unknown). Does anyone know how many rifles Germany had to give Poland immediately after WWI in reparations? This would help estimate production!
Thus it seems that at least 400,000+ wz.29's were produced if sources are correct.
