This is a questionaire about the codes in a headstamp
(We recommend that you have watched the videos about the headstamp searches)
Does it matter in which direction the codes are written on a headstamp?
How many codes has this headstamp?
Two codes - the top and the bottom one are separate codes
11 codes - every letter is a code
One code - the whole headstamp inscription is one code
Can I enter parts of the code only or do I have to enter the complete code?
I can enter the first few letters of a code and leave the rest open as wildcard
I have to enter the complete code
I can enter one code only
I can enter any part in the middle of the code
I have to enter the complete code if I select "exactly" (CaartWinPro 4 only)
Do we have to use blanks (space) in the headstamp?
Enter F C O T B as one code with blanks in between
Enter FCOTB as one code without blanks in between
Enter every letter as individual code
What do you type to search for this headstamp?
What do you have to select to search for the this headstamp?
Use the numbers clockwise: Code 1 = NATO symbol Code 2 = IVI Code 3 = 72
Use the numbers counter clockwise: Code 1 = NATO symbol Code 2 = 72 Code 3 = IVI
It does not matter which code number you use. Code 8 = NATO symbol Code 1 = 72 Code 5 = IVI
