Bomb Stencil Translation Needed

Hi;
I'm presuming this is an SC250 or SD250. There is something stenciled on the side of the bomb that looks like Nur gegen Handels... and I lose it there. Google Translate reads this as "Only against trade", but that make no sense to me. Anyone have any idea what this is, and what it says?

Thanks!

Paul

Re: Bomb Stencil Translation Needed

nur gegen handelsschiffe - Only against Merchant Ships

Looking at the size it might even be a SC500 or SD500?

Edit: SC500 Grade III (K, L2 , & J)

Remarks: When filled with Trialen (105), in place of yellow stripes on the tail cone a silhouette of a ship is stencilled in yellow paint. On the bomb body is stencilled "nur gegen handelschiffen" (use only against merchant ships). It is also states that against nonarmor plated targets it gives off a good mining and blast effect, also good underwater results. Low level attacks using this bomb cannot be made because of the lack of safety for the releasing plane.

The exact German stencilling including capiltals and correct plural endings would be:

"Nur gegen Handelsschiffe"
