Polish term or phrase: numer sygnatury: sygn.

Na podstawie dokumentacji znajdujacej sie w archiwum ZIH INB sygn.Z-2725

I am not sure if I should translate it as "file number", "document number", "case number" or something else. Is there is an English abrevation for the Polish "sygn."

call no. OR: file no.

Explanation:
W bibliotekach sygnatura ksiazki to "(book) call no.", natomiast w miejscach takich jak archiwum, gdzie przechowywane sa akta spraw mysle, ze mozna tez mowic o "file no.", czyli nr akt.

signature

Explanation:
istnieje skrót 'Sig.', ale może być mylący, gdyż jest używany przez lekarzy na receptach do oznaczenia sposobu stosowania leku.

Ale 'signature' powinno pasować, bo to m.in.: 'an identifying characteristic or mark'

reference number

Explanation:
I would use 'reference number' instead of 'file number' because the latter is more colloquial and customary. Reference number in itself 'refers' to a case/file under consideration.
