Help with Factory Codes

EODGUY

Well-Known Member
I am trying to determine what the factory codes were for the following Canadian WWI ordnance manufacturers. They supplied material to the US because in many cases we were not able to get our production lines up and running well before the end of the war. These are just a few of my unknowns. I will add some more later. Appreciate any help.
