Can't say I've ever seen those two on the net, but then, I suppose I haven't looked that closely. They were a couple of examples from a private album I copied many years ago - an officer closely involved in Aust wartime artillery experiments & production.

A couple of items fresh in today 17 pdr related, a complete pull back apparatus which needs cleaning up and a pair of ammo boxes which were dug up in Arnhem a couple of years ago ,sadly no more than relics both 44 dated and one has the faint remains of the markings. one of them might possibly clean up a little.

Rob,
I am going away for a few days so I will measure it for you when I get back. I do have a couple with slightly different eyes so I'm assuming it was down to manufacturer.  Rob.....................rnixartillery.

Amazing result, Rob - very well done!

Hi
I am currently writing a book about the 17Pdr. I would like to include a pic or two of the 17/25Pdr Pheasant. Would it be possible for you to provide me with a couple of hires images of your fantastic restored example that I could use?
