Hi RoadKill!

Entirely FWIW, that site contains only the more common codes, gleaned from books written for and by collectors. Contrary to what the author of the page in question seems to believe, there does exist complete lists of codes and numbers, as published by the Oberkommando des Heeres. The last published version of this was, if memory serves, the 1945 edition of the Ã¢??Liste der Fertigungskennzeichen fur Waffen, Munition und GeratÃ¢??. It runs several hundred pages.

Warm regards,

Kyrie

Kyrie, You are correct. I have a copy reprinted in 1977 but dated 1944. I just recently bought it from Don Hallock. I am sure he has a few more copies if anyone is interested. Right at 800 pages. Jerry Burney
