German term or phrase: Verstorben am zw.27.01.2011 und 28.01.2011
I am translating an inheritance certificate from German into English and I came across this expression and I am not sure what exactly "am zw" stands for. My initial translation is deceased between the 27.01.2011 and 28/01/2011. Is it the correct meaning?
Many thanks in advance.
