I assume in German? By 1937 Simson was utterly taken over and potentially might elaborate on the dismemberment of Simson?
The first production for "BSW" of the 98k was in 1937 - Simson's/BSW first venture into the short rifle/98k (previous as Ed suggests they produced the Gewehr98 from 1915-1918; and Kar98b from 1924-1931 or so (some issues over this start & end as they, as with their P08 line stopped dating their product in 1926 and I have seen as early as 1921 suggested for a start and early 30's for an end) - the reworking done by Simson & with Simson bits also give collectors issues pinning them down.

Is this a catalog? Their line of pistols from the 20's are scarce I believe as I have only "seen" pictures of them, not sure of how many Modells they produced but at least 2 I know of.. well besides their P08 line of course.
