NSN research CAGE numbers

[chiffonnier]

I was wondering if you already use following site for research on NSN numbers.
I've tried a few NSN numbers like the one from the folding shovel in the BW forum not so long ago and all specifications become visable including price.
found it today but it will need some time figuring all out.

http://www.logisticsinformationservi...ub_search.aspx

and following link is a search engine for cage numbers.
I understand that are numbers part of a NATO contract number.
also new to me but firms as marquardt and schulz workwear gmbh are listed in this database besides thousands of manufactures.

ok nico,
since I couldn't find these links in the BW section maybe someone has some benefit of them.
another unbelievable reference for markings in german metallware of all sorts is located here;

http://www.archivingindustry.com/cut...ntentintro.htm

although it's info on makers before '45,a lot produced after the war and some still exist.
markings are well described,wich makes up for the lack off pictures,
all the best,

kees,

Interesting links. I have had good luck by simply typing the NSN into google.
