Unfortunately I haven’t ever come across such a database for Navy contract dates. 

The NAVSHIPS 94200 Directory of Communications Equipment often gives contract number and date but not always. No luck on the AR-88 entry.

Is there an online database which will give me information on an “order number” or contract number on the data plate of a radio? For example I’m looking at an AR-88 with contract number “NObr-39228” but I’m interested in doing this for many of my milsurplus radios.  Is there a good source for this?
