I think there is a similar one out in Kelowna, BC on the Armoury grounds.

I have one on stands outside the shop at work waiting for the wheels to be re-done. They are expected to be about $1500 or so each......a little more complicated than a normal wheel.

For a listing of all the monument guns (and aircraft and armour) across Canada, check out http://silverhawkauthor.com/

Looks like someone had to spike their gun. That's got to be demoralizing.

The war museum used to claim (decades ago, not sure if they still say it) that the split barrel was the result of a freak hit by an enemy shell that entered the barrel before exploding. Your choice whether you go for myth or truth
