Hi Stig,


I don't have the WDF. You are correct of course about M7056 being an M.5. I posted too quickly I think. I just wanted a second opinion on that one, because as I know you're aware fronm an earlier post the WDF serials are a bit questionable. Given that the macine shown is M.7056, I tend to agree the last digit is 6 that would make it the first of that batch of M.5s.


I have a bit more of a problem with M.4874. At the moment I'm transcribing serials and units from Gentilli and Varriale I Reparti and I'll have to go back and check since I've only just reached the naval units, but I thought the m.48** batch were L.3. In fact I've just checked on M.4876 which is the closest I've recorded yet and its an L.3. I have been finding, despite odd typos I Reparti more reliable on serials than the Alfgi WDFs.Alegi having recorded 7056 as a Pomilio PE serial. Though in his defence he does admit in the WDF on the SAML's that the serials he gives are a bit speculative.


Regards,


Clint
