Per Vanderlinden FN was specifically disallowed making 98s by contract and partial German ownership(and board positions) until after WWI.

First (small) contract for 98s was the Brazilian 1922 Carbine.
Large manufacture of 98s began with the 1924 contract for the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
