Butterfly bomb stamping query.

[SG500]

I've just been cleaning up a set of wings and found some stampings under the rust. Anyone know what the numbers are for? Is it the weight of the wings, or the number of the item as is often found on experimental shells?

Hi Dave,
My bet would be a batch or ,as you say,a number representing the experimental model?
I think there is a write up here in BOCN about these winglets being used on experimental SD2's for use on dropping them down onto bomber formations but the winglets design wasnt good enough to open and arm the fuze?

Hi Dave i would think it would be steel manufactures batch or part numbers , it would be inpossible to find out unless there was someone alive who actually worked on them,i f there was a waffenamt stamp i have a partial list of those .

Thanks guys, I'll be very careful cleaning the other parts of it in the hope I'll find a waffenamt stamp.
