For Sale: 2 pdr and 3" CS Howitzer parts trade

[Ben]

Hi

I have some 2 pdr parts for trade (or possible sale) see photos. I'm looking for parts and barrel for a 3" close support howitzer as found in Matilda and Valentine tanks.
The 2 pdr cradle and recuperator are identical to those found on AT guns, the mounts are possibly from a Marmon Herrington armoured car but I'm not 100% certain.
Two assemblies available.

Thanks

Ben

Ben,
What does the mount for the gunsite look like? See just a corner of one in oe pic.

Need one for the Humber A/C.

Not finding the right part, so now looking for something relatively close that can be be made to work.

Would be great if you could get a couple more pictures.

Hi Jim

Only picture I have to hand of the site mount. I can get more details if necessary.

Pm Sent.. Interested in a part

Thanks for the extra picture, Ben. Yes, that is the part, but I can tell that it would take as much effort to modify it as to make a fake one from scratch. ANd I would hate to mess up an original part that whoever buys these will surely want. If it was the actual part I needed, I am afraid i would be a bit more mercenary out getting it. But I will just have to keep looking.

Thanks!
Jim

No problem Jim, I'm sure the bit you want will turn up...... usually right after you've made one.

That is almost perfect for what i am building. Too bad it is so far away...
