I have seen various Thalers with a reference to Dav-xxx. Is there a chart or classification book I can see?

They're books. Do an internet search for "john davenport talers".

Thank you! I found and ordered some….
A couple of those are tough to find and expensive. A way around that which helps a bunch is to find one of the Davenport price guides(obviously way out of date) which aren't expensive. It fills in some gaps if you don't have a complete set of the books.
I found them on eBay….
If you are looking at specialty books, there are others, yet Davenport is a great place to start with. He did a great job in mapping European crowns.

Yes, they are expensive like on Abebooks, but on eBay they were much less.
@Herb_T Here is an article on Davenport in case you want to check it out: https://coinweek.com/education/numismatic-history/crown-taler-man-reflections-dr-john-s-davenport/
There's a volume or 2 I would jump to pay that price on! Trying to remember which ones they are. I know 1 I'm missing is a buy at a couple hundred. Yeah, been a while since I looked at them.
