david052 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hello all I have been asked if I would like to purchase a 25 Pounder. It has been sitting in a field for a while so needs plenty of work. Any idea what sort of value they have - not really my thing but I can see that it needs to be rescued. It comes complete with a Limber, 1941 dated, and by all accounts a set of accessories. If anybody has any thoughts on the matter perhaps they could PM me - sellers read these pages too! Also there is a Morris 2 Pounder Portee, supposedly, though it now has a huge jib on it. What chassis identification should it have to identify it as such, and where could I find a set of drawings or good photos to aid in a restoration? Cheers!

jenkinov Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 David ..I have recently joined the Garrison ....http://www.thegarrison.org.uk/ and restoring 25 pounders mTo firing condition appears to be undertaken by a few specialists in the group . In terms of values its down to condition in the last few years i have seen prices from a few thousand up to 10K ( but whilst they asked for that on milweb i am unsure if the price was actually achieved ) I would suggest getting detailed photos and contacting the Garrison for Guidance ...

Hi David, Do you have any photos - might be easier to give you a guide price All the best, James. ps. My old advice would be to find as complete an example as possible as the small parts are becoming increasingly hard to find and the prices are getting ever more expansive.
