I know the Wehrmacht adopted the Mauser 98k in 1935. Does anyone know if the 98k was used during the Spanish Civil War ? (1936-1939)

I would say that members of the condor legion had a mix of 98ks and earlier variants; but I'm just guessing.

I'm not saying that no 98K ever made it down there but for the most part it was either G98(modified GEW's) and model 1893's that were used in that war. The closest to the 98K was the Standard Modell/and carbine version that was issued to to the Condor legion. The model 43 which was used to replace the original 1916 model rifles came along after that conflict was mostly decided.....sound confusing?
P.S.
