Henschel 123 WNr.

Hi,
I know that to distinguish the Hs123 A from the Hs123 B you have to check the Werknummer; my problem is that i don't know which WNr A ends or B starts with.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Henschel 123 WNr.

According to Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv RL3/2617 a total of 266 Hs 123's were produced between May 1936 (Hs 123V-1) and September 1938. Both Henschel and Ago produced respectively 115 and 140 aircraft on RLM contracts for the Luftwaffe excluding prototypes. From the 3-digit Werk-Nummern I have the last Hs 123A-1 with W.Nr. 837 and the first Hs 123B-1 with W.Nr. 841.
Regarding the 4-digit Werk-Nummern I have the last Hs 123A-1 with W.Nr.2271 and the first Hs 123B-1 with W.Nr. 2274. Perhaps someone could fill in the missing links. Best regards Bjorn Hafsten (ex. Seaplanes)
