    British Manufacturer's Dispersal Code Index

    Does any-one know where I can obtain a complete or nearly complete list/index of Britishicon military manufacturer's Dispersal Codes with the full name of the company to which they relate, please? I do have some partial lists which I found on-line but they are in no way complete and have many gaps and omissions. Thanks for any help.

    There is a Skennertonicon book that covers this subject. It's not totally complete but pretty good

    I can't find my copy of Broad Arrow to check, but I doubt that it duplicates the stuff in his earlier book. No doubt someone here can advise us.

    Thanks chaps for all the information especially MKII. I have now ordered a copy of Britishicon Small Arms of WW2 by Ian Skennertonicon via Amazon and I look forward to looking through it when it arrives.
