MG Number Plane wanted

[ginamod]

Hi All,
need your help.

I have a wrecked Browning MG from WWII, air war units.
After long searching I discovered the MG serial number, but it is not exactly
readable.
Perhaps somebody can apply a computer programme
to approach to the former plane and gunner.

I read this out: 9 6 3 6or5 7 3(8?)

The crash happened very probably somewhere in the middle of Austria.

Of course you can send me several proposals or MACRs, which might fit.
I am Fold 3 user but I cannot apply a computer search through all of the MG numbers. Can you ?
Many thx in advance

There are ways to restrict searches strictly to the MACRs. When I do that 963573 is not found as a gun serial number. Some bomb groups did not record gun serial numbers. Often the numbers they did record are hard to read and fold 3 used an algorithm to try and read the numbers, sometimes making mistakes. You can make it search for numbers such as 9635?? where the question marks can be filled in by any digits. I did note that numbers starting with 96 are somewhat rare while numbers starting with 98 are more common. Are you sure the second digit is a 6 and not an 8?
