Here is a spanish one

Normaly they have no R-number but often it says No.256 for instance and the year will be up to in the 1950's

Do we have a way to differentiate 8,8 cm guns build in Spain under license from guns build in Germany?

Thanks Walter.

Hi Rick

Most likely the R stands for Rohrnumber ( barrel number )
But I can't 100 % prove this

Hello,

I've done a page that quickly explains where to find a Sherman serial number or other useful information :

I will try to add info about Tank Destroyers etc..

P-O

In looking close up at the Bucharest 88mm photographed by Massimo, I see: R1582 / 1937 / Rh MB, on front of breech. Any idea on the "R" meaning. apparently 1937 is year, but what does Rh MB mean also? Rick

Massimo ,normaly there is the R,but I have seen numbers preceded by XD and also with PJ. But I guess these letters have been put in later

Walter, is the serial number always preceded by an R?

Massimo

And the numbers are also at the side of the breechblock at the metal top and bottom. But most of the time that is gone or corroded

Hi Massimo

You asked about the numbers on german artillery
Most info is found on the breech
But often the number is also on the top of the barrel.

Thank you! I take it then that the serial number is only inside the vehicle somewhere.

I am not 100% sure. I am just not aware of any location. It could be there without me knowing about it
