The first case is relatively normal. It says "GPW 7006" with a script F over
the fill plug. The top surface is hand stamped rather poorly with "OS58214".
There was a lot of overstriking on this. Does anyone know what these numbers
mean?
The second case is wierd. It is blank on the side that has the fill and
drain plugs. The other side is embossed for another fill and drain plug but
the case was never machined for them. This undrilled side has big block
letters "GPW 7006". This was clearly done by a screw in plate in the mold
casting. Below that is a triangle with two mirror image block letter F's.
Beside tha triangle is another casting plate with what looks like a date ( I
couldn't read it). The top edge of the case has stamped "F1344D". Does
anyone know why this case is so different from commonly found F script cases?
I have heard stories that the French made this style but why would they mark
it GPW? Also, is the F1344D a date code? Were there any applications where
the alternate side was machined for the drain and fill plugs?
