Relative Rarity-Grip Strap Markings

Navy · 01-09-2003, 09:04 AM

All,

Received a query from Albert Beliard regarding the rarity of T.D. marked guns and it set me to wondering about relative rarity by marking.

I would opine that the Kiau marked guns are the rarest, followed by guns that are U-boat marked (to a boat, zepplin marked, followed by Uboat abteilung marked pieces and then the Torpedo Divisions other fleet divisions, with the most common markings being the Kiel and Wilhemshafen werfts.

Any body ever done any research or have an opinion?
