Re: DB605AS info - need to determine WHERE and WHEN?
Hello Mike,

I've studied a bit the DB 605 serials. The "007" in the serial number of your DB 605 ASO indicates in general a DB 605 A from the Daimler-Benz Motoren GmbH, Genshagen Kreis Teltow (production code hsq). Interesting for me is your production code hsg of the W. Dieck, Apparatebauanstalt, Werk 1, Aussig-Türmitz/Süd. Please check once again the stamping, perhaps the g is a q. On the other hand, perhaps the W. Dieck Werk was a subcontractor of the Daimler-Benz Motoren GmbH, and assembeld engines for them. I have another DB 605 serial close to yours (DB 605 A-1 007/07111 from the Bf 109G-6/U2 WNr.412951) also with the producer code hsg. Until now I thought is was a typing/transfer error, but now you could clear this up.
Can you please send me a bigger scan of the production plate?

best regards,
Tomislav
