Here are a few photos as requested. Perhaps you or someone on here have the number registry book to see the history of this gun? I would be curious to know.

Thank you Jon for all the pictures.
I do not have any registery books for any artillery pieces, would be an interesting read though! |

The dimensions on the outside of the shield are as follows- I used a cm/inch tape for you. See pic #5 for the better explanation. These are all on the center axis of the dome because the shield has angles that are hard to explain.(measured to the steel edge not the weld) Might be a bit loose with the exact sizes but only by an 8th inch/ a few mm or so. From the bottom up 3 inches From the front angle back 3 inches from the sight cover/ shield down 1 inch From the back forward 4 inches On the inside the dome hole is 7 inches/ 8 on the outside with welding visible The dome stands out 1 inch The distance from the edge of the traverse wheel is 2 inches (very tight on the hands) The traverse wheel is 7 inches across. Also a finer point, possibly a standard or just a quirk with this gun the side of the breach is painted in a very abrasive non slip paint which takes the skin off your knuckles very quickly while turning the wheel. If you are not careful it can be quite painful. ![]() As I say it seems a weird sort of thing to do... Anyone chime in on why this would be like that? Hope this helps.
