Hi all. I have underside front cowling of 109 G-6 located just behind the spinner.
Cowling has the oil drain hole in it. There is three digit stamping and Erla Factory's stamp. could this three digit stamping 135 be the last three numbers of the whole serial. I found following serials for the Erla built G-6's

Hi,

It was very common to stamp the werk like this on the larger cowling parts (I have wreck parts like this will the full werk stamped in the same fashion. But...usually on the big parts it is the full serial (not the last 3).

Hi,

By Erla, they it was common to number batches of 50 planes. This No 135 could be a number of a batch.
