john fox Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 How about Comet, I think it was 77mm but can't remember the imperial designation, it was not a 17pdr cos as you say that's the one on the right, I guess from a Firefly? or is it even more esoteric, Black Prince? :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M5Clive Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Who can identify these two? I know exactly what they are. They are two old army guns that some bloke a couple of villages down the road from me has kicking around his yard! Well I thought it was funny!
