LOT CODE on F2

[jvollenberg]

I am looking for the LOT CODE information on the F2 CS grenades. Does anyone have anything on PSM and PB?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi,

According to SIGFAB, which is the complete list of ammunition factories french codes edited by french MoD (2002) :

Code for 'Poudreries de Saint-Médard' is 'SM'

'PSM' stands only for ETS POMIES, (Located AUREILHAN and MIMIZAN)
'PB' stands also for ETS BLANCHET (PARIS)



Regards,

S.

sgdbdr,

In my copy of the French "Repertoire des sigles ateliers - Forces armées françaises" the codes were assiged to

PB: Poudrerie Nationale de Pont de Buis

PSM: Ets Pomies-Mimizan AND Pouderie de St-Medard (this one also used SM as code)

The 'Ets Blanchet' was assigned the code PBA


There seems to be some diffrences between both our edititions...

see attached scans.

Hi !


We just have to find out which edition of this f*****g book gives the right definition.
My guess, the older, the better !

I love it when there is no direct answer, makes the hunt even more fun.

I would think we would then have to go off of the date on the munition.
