Hey guys I will update this thread as new data is received. I will also try and keep it clean with no clutter. You can post data or email me direct at bruce98k@hotmail.com. I delete the direct posts with just SN data and keep any ones dealing in features or unique aspects. Thanks.

Thanks to PAUL SHOMPER (Graf) for submitting a huge pile of SNs. You are the man!!

NOTE: DP denotes 'Diamond Proof', TD denotes takedown disk


At this point it looks like a total production of around 55-56000 Banners
used for internal distribution and not for export.



Ed note 1: It looks like the diamond proof appeared
in the early 70K block and was used on all successive
guns.

Note 2: Chda appears from 70K to high 80s, putting
the numbers for that variant at about 17K. For whatever reason, high numbered 1934 Banners > 80K
do not have the stamp.

Ed note 12/13/08: While the range is from 70K to high 80s, it is not known if all the Banners issued in that range were ChdA marked.
More complete data will help - especially verified matching non-ChdA examples in this range.


/************************************************** *************/
Railway issue series:

Revised 5/19/08:
The 'c' series continues after rollover DR series in 1934 (authors revised view).
Judging from SNs, the series for the Deutsche Reichsbahn was a separate run with most
of the higher range used for export to China.

Notes from 5/25/07:.
It certainly looks that way as the data develops. The big gomer would be a 'c' prefix DR Banner lower than the highest 1933 SN. We will see what falls out.

0262 DR
0312 DR, numbers on handle

I just picked up a beautiful Standard modell 1924 that appears to be a late war re-work. I will post a seperate thread about her as I really need assistance in figuring her out.

Serial number 50019, year 1933.

She also appears to be a russian capture but compared to another russian capture I own, she again is quite different.
