Can anyone translate this

[Mark]

Gruss Gott,Steve!

Dok is right on the money with his translation

of this piece.I don't know how to put in umlauts

on my Webtv equipment so I have to settle for the

affected letter followed by a "e" to fake the the

switch.

Werk NR probably refers to the english equivilent

- work order #.

Hersteller is as Dok said, the manufaturerer,

and also included is the "Reichsbuero NR" or

purchasing order authorization code for this

particular line of production.

The eagle with "long flowing wings" ,as I believe you described it is indeed the symbol of the

Luftwaffe (German-NAZI air force).I wear a Luftwaffe

pilot's ring on a daily basis.Hope this is of some

modest help.


Tschuss! Mark
