Most W. German items have one set of numbers then a slash or hyphen and a second set of numbers. Usually, the first set is the shape number, and the second set is the approximate height in centimeters. It's sometimes possible to identify an item by just the numbers, but the companies used very similar systems, and some companies re-used shape numbers over the years.
Take note that the number 1 will often have a strong serif, making it look like a 7. However, the European 7 usually has a bar across the middle (example visible in the first Carstens picture.)
