In the German manual D 435/3 which describes the marking of German ordnance you will find under Lfd Nr. 80 an example of machining of driving bands.
The same with (t) under Lfd Nr 97.
Thanks for pointing that out.

At this moment I am redecorating my house and all my documentation is in storage. When I have it at home again I will scan and post the other images from the same handbook.
Thanks for the write up..
can you confirm if your belief as to whether the German manufactured ammunition, eg PzGr39 rot and PzGr40 etc were used in the Russian 350mm case, or just the long PaK40 case.... And do you have any supporting documentation or photos
