Default New addition !

Well after a few days away I returned home with a very welcome addition to my collection along with some spare parts I gathered up on the way.

I have posted some pics on another forum so thought I would share them with our fellow collectors over the Ponds !

Its a little Model 1934 French 25mm Anti-Tank Gun Built by Hotchkiss Paris.
I know over in the states these guns are quite common but here in the UK there are only a couple but what makes this particular one unique is that it is from the British contract to supply the BEF for the invasion of France.
I bought it from a company who have had it in there possesion since 1946 and in turn bought it from the War Department.

The gun is in very good order and in a live firing state so I had to enter it onto my firearms license althought I dont fire any of my Artillery its still nice to 'drop the Block' and take a look up the Barrel.

Rob.................rnixartillery collection.
