Thanks for that, a great bit of film.
The gun has a very high profile. Elevation would have been limited. Appears to be for anti armour and strong point work?

Excellent bit of film Rob!
The early, square hole muzzle brakes were quite flat on the front face. I see there was an interim style with the round front but still with square holes before the familiar later style.

Thats right Adrian there were three variants ,two square hole and the last design with the round holes unfortunately I have not found the first pattern with the squarer profile.
Tim the Ad you have found is very old plus the parts are just standard 17 and 25 pdr that has clearly been clagged together. Rob....................rnixartillery

17-pdr (Aust) (Exp?)
Hi Rob,
I found two views: left and right rear, neither are great shots, but you should get some details from them. On closer examination, the trail appears to be the same overall design as that used on the 25-pdr Mk2/1(Aust), ie the all-welded trail with tubular cross member, but lengthened. This was at Williamstown test range, Victoria, in 1944. I'll be interested in your views about this weapon. Regards Mike
