About "Black 3" at Halle

[John Manrho]

There is no question that this is black 3, just like black 8 a 6. Staffel a/c. The werknummer, well 601090 was indicated by the seller of that Ebay picture. Would like to know who bought the original....

Orthochromatic film had pretty much disappeared by 1945 on both the Western Allies and Axis sides.

I can still see a thin dark boarder so I still question it being Schwarze 3.... I believe this image shows that it is not Schwarze 3

To be honest, black is more believeable in my opinion as well, but werknummer ending in '0', no.

Hello;
John is right, this is "Back 3" and the Werk Nummer is 601090. Attached is an enlargement from one of our photos that was published in Vol. 1 of our Dora book. The '0' is clearly evident as can be seen. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Cheers Jerry

Thanks for responding.

That most definitely is a '0', but from the starboard picture, I just can't see the last digit being the same.

Especially comparing to the other zeros in the serial number, odd.

Possibly mismarked?

Come on guys there is a dark boarder, look at the images ..... what could be darker than black unless the interior colour was lighter, therefore I suggest red, Red 3 with a black border.

I don't really see it, even if it were there, it seems a bit too thin for an outlined marking.

That dark spot on the top of '3' is the panel seam, even all of the other photos I have access to indicate a single colour.

Another two blow ups... to me it's as plain as day.... sorry
