    Help: Need to know the meaning of a code prefix on 8.8cm 39/43 Konigstiger projectile

    I have here a rare German 8.8cm KonigsTiger /PaK 43 projectile that is stamped with the code Bczw.
    czw = Freitaler Stahlindustrie GmbH, Freital /Sachsen
    B = ?

    The prefix in front of the 3 letter code stands for the kind of material the shell was made of. usually one of 3 letters, either A, B or C are prefix codes found on AP shells.

    A means: nickel free steel

    B Means ????

    C means: cylindrical shell body with steel nose welded on it (Verbundgeschoss).

    Can anyone find mention of what the code prefix B means?

    Thanks,

    Rich
