steveo578 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) Its a 20mm Oerlikon Gun has a look of a flak 28 but not quite right so probably a Swiss army or comercial sale- maybe Portugal. Edited May 23, 2010 by steveo578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Its either going to be a Oerlikon or a Hispano-suiza gun. Its usually marked somewhere on the gun. Very unlikely to be war-time. Unfortunately do not have my books at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Jerry, What size tyres are they on the gun? They look like they might be 18 inch ( but probably 20 inch :-(). I sure a few will know what I am thinking ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

early british ww2 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 H all have jus been given this 20mm anti aircraft gun con some one tell me were it was made anb if i can get a manual for it all the best jerry please take a look at my web site www.jerrysjeeps.co.uk Hi I have a wartime version of this gun which was made by Hispano-Suiza and supplied to both allied and axis forces in 1944 - Mine is a 1944 Hispano- Suiza HS-404 20MM Anti Aircraft gun . Yours has the basic chassis as it were that mine does but has a lot more added to it and is on bigger wheels etc so suspect that it must be a postwar version of my HS-404 . Very nice piece anyway and probably still fairly rare , Cheers:coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
