Marnix Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hello All, Want to solve a mystery. Can anyone identify these 3 seats? They all have different ways of being fixed to the vehicle, but clearly form a set. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marnix Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Really, no one any idea about to what vehicle these seats belong? If they are so rare, they must be worth a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Any FV numbers or other identifying marks? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Where are you located and how did you come by them? This may help us identify what they came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marnix Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I got them many years ago at a show in Belgium. First I thought they would fit an M113 AMP but although the seats 'look' similar it's not a perfect match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarland Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The Belgian Army operated a fleet of M108 Howizters until the mid 1980's. Possible candidate? Same sort of era as the M113? The M108 was the 105mm version of what is now the M109 Paladin 155mm SPG. There was an M108 up for sale on Milweb a few years ago (plus one being broken up/candidate for gate Guardian) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
