[Fwd: [Milsurplus] GFE stamp on SCR-274N manual]

GFE still means Government Furnished Equipment.  It can be a single
item of equipment, a tech manual, or even an entire airplane or
ship, ground vehicle, etc.

More recently, the use of the "GFE" stamp or tag has been discontinued
and replaced by a specific form that's kept on file by the government
and the contractor.  The form identifies the GFE by federal stock number,
nomenclature, serial number, etc., as appropriate.
