Ordnance, QF 2 Pounder (Aust)
I'm not sure if that is the correct nomenclature, but I do know of four unrestored 2 pounders in private hands in Australia, and none of them are on the club 'circuit' so there would appear to be a few australian manufactured examples still about the place.
A tip - check those fence strainer posts around the Albury Wodonga region of NSW/VIC - a good number were disposed of from Bandiana and tended not to travel too far afield.
I kicked a good 37mm barrel out of the dust in the back of a shop in Wodonga VIC as refcently as 1997 ! With a complete six pounder AT gun rescued from a farm near Wagga Wagga NSW the same year.
