List of DB 605A engine construction numbers?

[S Sheflin]

Hey SM,
I am at 713 DB 605’s documented so far and adding numbers daily. How does that stack up with your numbers?
Respectfully,

Hi Steve, I do not have a database of engine numbers, I am involved with engine operation, rebuild and original data. However, my info does cover some early DB605A engine numbers. Obviously, the later engines have different serial numbers that include coded manufacturer info. I have worked on engines that have strange numbers like 0110xxxxxxx? and one I remember, 007xxxxxxx? I referred to as the James Bond engine. Obviously, the codes on late engines can reveal some info about production location and type when the Data plate is missing. I am interested in any of this info. Cheers

To all of you, DB 605 'aficionados', here is a page from my upcoming book, 'Bulgarian Fighter Colours', vol. 2, of the engine of a Bulgarian Bf 109G-6, excavated recently (photos by N. Katsarov).

Hi Denes! Thank you for that. Yes, DB605A or AS, you can, I think, see the disconnected barrel of the Motor cannon sticking out of the rear. Cheers
