Obviously 42 was the manufacture date, 244 was the lot number (244rd of 1942) and the WaA10 is the military authority acceptance stamp. The ‘8,8cm Flak 18’ is obviously the weapon, and ‘(8,8cm 30St)’ is the case designation- since there were several 8,8cm weapons with different cases; the ‘St’ portion refers to the case being Stahl (steel).
