I tried to find something on BOCN and didn't, but may be I don't know how to search.
I would like to know if there's a list somewhere of all the German codes used for their artillery cases, I am talking about the 4-digit number you find on most cases followed or not by St.
Thanks for your help.
 
Hi doppz92
The book you need is "German artillery of ww2" ISBN number 1-85367-480-X by Ian V.Hogg

I have this list. I think this is the one you are looking for.

I've added a (retyped) copy from Vö/Ha. And Vö/Sta. (Magdeburg, den 7. Juli 1943).

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was after. Pysall I have pm'd you.
What triggered my question was the recent acquisition of several cases, of various types and manufacturer but all all for 10,5 cm lFH18. This must be one of the most produced gun and consequently most produced case of WW2 however these don't seem to be so easy to find except these coming from Finland.
I think I will start another thread once I've taken some nice pictures to find out how many variants exist, however here is a teaser
