Per the information published by New Schwing, it was manufactured sometime in mid January 1946. When production was halted to support the WW II efforts, serial numbers had reached 163081 (on November 24th, 1942). When production was resumed in January 1946, serial numbers 163082 – 167698 were completed by months end.
