1933 Banner K 59679 DRP Dortmund

Here is a pretty sweet pick up for me. I was looking mostly for a 1933 dated Banner K in prime condition. This example certainly fit the bill. It’s serial number is 59679 and is a DRP example for the city of Dortmund. I really like that this one was marked for the city, I just think it adds...

Mine is a bit of a struggle, maybe someone can decipher it (looks like Ffd):

 

[bruce98k]

Interesting in that it was cancelled, meaning that it was transferred to a new city.
Could be Ffb?

Appreciate others helping to figure this one out.

Bruce, @freudi, et al,
From my research and databases:

Aan - Aachen - Leather Belt

Ffb - Fürstenfeldbruck - Postschutz Belt Buckle Tab

Kbg - Kemberg - Postschutz Belt Buckle Tab

 

[bruce98k]

I have added a table to the first post.
As more data comes in will add it to the table.
I also have to add the bnz43 to the Dtmd section.
Last, I have changed the Kbg to Kemberg based on Lances data and have not filled in the city for SchW.

Would appreciate ideas on that one. In Volume I I assumed it was Schweinfurt.

Is it possible that Schw could be for Schwerin?
