    I've got pretty much the same lamp + clamp , but with a much longer cable , guess it 'll fit the barrel of a tank on a Rogers trailer behind a Diamond truck

    Amazing it sure is , just covered up by some grass and earth , about 1 inch deep It's hard to believe these things are still to be discovered , as there are quite some places around here where heavy action took place I'll post my question on the Maple Leaf Up forum as well

    Prospecting a former battlefield in our neighborhood , we found some remains of the fighting that took place in september '44 some rounds .303 and 9 mm , 2" mortar tails , remains of a German gas mask , and one insign , that looks like 2 Canadian leaves . All of it having been discovered on a steep river bank , where acces isn't very easy , I assume it must have been lost at combat activities, some pictures to identifie; no markings were found on this object

    Hi Rob , affirmative for the muzzle brake , but no riveted cradle , all of the recuperators have been machined in one solid piece of cast steel.Mike (Peacock -The Garison) told me this is a rare type of cradle , as most of what we've seen through the years are riveted ones. I think the date on the gun barrel says 1942, will check that out tomorrow. Thanks so far for this (valuable) information.:-)
