The Gewehr 98 (abbreviated G98 or Gew 98) was the standard German infantry rifle from 1898 to 1935, when it was replaced by the Karabiner 98k.
The bolt handle on the Gewehr 98 is straight and protrudes out (although on Gewehr 98s equipped with sniper scopes, the bolt was replaced with a model with a turned-down handle, so the scope could be mounted directly over the rifle, and to accommodate the turned-down handle a cavity was cut into the stock).
It was essentially the same length as the Gewehr 98 and was designated as a carbine to comply with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles which only allowed Germany to produce carbines and no rifles.

 The Geweh 98 - Before 1919 ...
The rifle was adopted on April 5, 1898, as the Gewehr 98 and during the early part of 1899 was used in troop trials by various Garde units and a training school.
Subsequently most Gewehr 98s made prior to 1903 were recalled and converted to the new cartridge dimensions, the rear sight leaf and slide replaced and a large S stamped on the chamber and top rear barrel.
I have one Gewehr 98 that was rebuilt from four salvaged Gewehr 98s: the barreled action and bolt from one rifle, the stock and handguard from a second rifle, the upper and lower barrel bands, buttplate and cleaning rod from a third rifle and the firing pin and extractor from a fourth rifle.

 GEHA: A little-known....
It uses a sprung, detachable bolthead that fits over the old Gewehr 98 bolthead, and also utilizes a receiver strengthener/shell deflector that was added because so much metal was removed from the original rifle action.
For another, the trigger itself was single-stage (as opposed to the two-stage military rifle trigger of the Gewehr 98).
It also retained the military Gewehr 98 stock, and was a no-frills gun without any provisions for a front sling swivel (although it retained the rear swivel mount from the Gewehr 98).

 Observations On Collecting Imperial German Rifles
I had been collecting the Kar.98k since 1984, and I had always thought that the 98k had suffered from a lack of reference material, but by contrast, the Gewehr 98 and Kar.98a have so little to refer to in their study that it is nearly pointless to reference any worthwhile book.
An original, all matching pre war Gewehr 98 rifle is quite a desirable rifle, most went through at least one rework or rebuild during the war- finding one totally original is quite rare.
Starting in 1916 (and by 1917 routinely applied) changes in the manufacture of the Gewehr 98 was seen, the finger groove in the stock; use of beech for stocks (walnut remained in use till the end); & the introduction of the bolt takedown disc in place of the unit marking disc.

 Karabiner 98 - TFRWiki
While the Karabiner 98k is arguably the best-known of the Gewehr 98's carbine line (despite being a full-fledged service rifle), the Karabiner 98 line of rifles has its own interesting, albeit flawed, history.
The Mauser Karabiner 98 (or K98) originally started life in 1900 as the Imperial German Army requested that a carbine modification of the Gewehr 98 be produced for the Uhlan (Cavalry troops).
The Karabiner 98 differed from its bigger brother, the Gewehr 98, in several different areas: The Karabiner 98 had a new turned-down spatulate bolt handle, a smaller-scaled Lange-Vizier (Curved ladder sight), a new one-piece hand-guard that extended from the breech to the nose-cap, and butt-mounted side sling mount.
