0 Pzkpfw-e Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The Cadmans do own a Panther Aufs A "Panther Ausf. A – Rex & Rod Cadman Collection (UK)The hull and turret were fabricated by the Hermann Goring Steel Works in Linz, Austria, but the final assembler is unknown due to the lost of its original chassis number. The original German chassis number was obliterated when it was given a new AMX chassis number, following its post-war refurbishment by the AMX factory. This tank most probably served with the 501-503 rd RCC, then it went to the Saumur museum and finally ended in the Cadman collection (Axis History forum)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pzkpfw-e Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Additional info. The tank was first shown at W&P in 2007, some gob****e stole its muzzle brake. The Cadmans also have a Bergpanther wreck, again ex-Saumur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 N.O.S. Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Did anyone see the rusty German big tank muzzle brake for sale in the stalls this year? ISTR asking £900 odd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adrian Barrell Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The muzzle brake that was stolen in a previous year was only on loan to the Panther I understand. There were two 75mm German muzzle brakes this year, the other was on the same stall as last year and though he was asking less than £900, it was still too much (presumably).
