Strange letters on a left lid from a NZ 350-1 Grauguss-motor
Last I bought a left lid of a "Grauguss"-motor. Besides DKW NZ-350-1,
there is also two times the number 12 to see. I've never seen such before and don't know what those numbers 12 mean? Are there any other numbers known? See the picture

As I wrote to you in the german forum, I consider the numbers as pre-production signs from the casting mould to separate the individual concepts from each other. Later production series engines have no numbers at all. For owners of early engines (March/April 1944) an interesting part.
DKW F 102 1965
DKW NZ 350-1 1945
DKW KL C100/C1 Funkwuerfel 1943
DKW GG400 Funkwuerfel

I have to change my opinion to what I wrote above...
Found that numbers on my late war engine (January ´45) too, hidden behind the gear shift...
But my numbers are 21 12 read from left to right.
So it could be production week 21 since the beginning of the NZ 350-1 production, in production line 12 or for engine part number 12.
Your engine part could be factured in week 12 since the beginning of the productions of the cast iron engine.
But normally these numbers were not on the engine, they were normally removed in the assembly line, I think.

Hello Wilhelm,
In my archive I found some other number-combinations to,
but they are not to read from the pictures.
It would be great when we could find out what motor-numbers belong to the numbered lids.
Then it would be possible to say wich manufacturing-years DKW-NZ produced those numbers.
For example; from what buildingyear/number is/have Your motor-blok?
I have only a single lid so I can not say anything about it.
My own NZ-1 from 44 does not have those numbers.

Hmm, interessant! We are talking about the 2 possitive numbers right?
That is the question in this topic. (not the motornumber)
Is it possible for You to gave a picture in?
Otherwise mail it to me, then I will do it. (martdapp@hotmail.com)
What building-year is Your motorblock?
Friendly regards, Martin
