REME 245 Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know where this Gun was manufactured? Clearly a Royal Ordance Factory with the initals RD. Edited August 2, 2020 by REME 245 Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 A lot of parts are stamped the same, I have it on some of my 17 pdr bits as well as 2 pdr. I would like to know for sure as well! ROF EP is another one I'm trying to locate. Quote
Adrian Barrell Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 Think that was a Royal Ordnance Depot rather than a factory. There were not that many engineering ROF's, many just being filling stations. Quote
MatchFuzee Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 ROF Dalmuir started production as a Royal Ordnance Factory under the control of the Ministry of Supply, it opened on 16 January 1941. In August 1941 it was handed over to William Beardmore and Company to run as an Agency Factory; and it returned to ROF Management control in September 1944. It produced QF 3.75 inch AA and 4.5 inch anti-aircraft guns. Source:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROF_Dalmuir Quote
