Wehrmacht Radio Serial Numbering Investigation

[Yuri D.]

Folks,

I would like to start an investigation into the serial numbering scheme of Wehrmacht radios in WWII. The investigation is simple. Please add to this thread your transmitter/receiver model number, year of production and serial number. I will contribute my information as well. My goal here is to detect a pattern in these numbers because it seems they are all over the place. I start with my Torn.E.b:


37 - 70838
37 - 70748
38 - 76396
38 - 76767
38 - 76788
38 - 83867
38 - 93402
39 - 111085
39 - 113349
39 - 133979
39 - 134215
39 - 244860
40 - 130462
40 - 158256
41 - 00662
41 - 161225
41 - 204610
42 - 02764
42 - 02782
42 - 04125
42 - 283895
42 - 286674
42 - 290487
43 - 07692
43 - 11663
43 - 13389
43 - 15363
43 - 284318
43 - 318097
43 - 320761
43 - 320824
43 - 372912
44 - 11943
44 - 17682
44 - 18441
44 - 21392
44 - 22233
44 - 22494
44 - 50126
44 - 579729
45 - 45589
45 - 45611

Torn Eb:
203482 - 1941
14251 - 1943

Feldfernschreiber:
10333 - 1942 (all matching numbers)

Torn Fu c:
0170 - 1938

100WS:
5873 - 1942

The rest of my radios are in storage at the moment, I'll get the numbers when I next see them!
