Inside the book it,s secret

John !!
I know this book..
but this book does not cover these codes (CAPITAL LETTER CODES)

notice that capital letter codes from messtins and canteens exist at last science 1934.. and regular three letter codes only science 1940 !!!

thats why I am asking I know this book for years but thanks !!!

[Remy Spezzano]

The book that John listed is the one I used to look up the name and address of the manufacturer.

thanks Remy !!!
so.. we still looking.... manufacturer You provided is not correct - check again in bobk - when this code was introduced - that book will tell You that esb code was introduced in May 1941

then check canteens marked ESB34 7 years difference

canteens codes are like helmet codes.. they are propably just shortcuts from metalwerke name, and they havn't change science 30's till the and of war, examples:
MN, SWW, CFL, ESB, WWL, WAL, etc....
