Anyone got some good photos of the British 25 pounder field gun?

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Thanks for the help!

I sure can use the photo on the web-site, but I also need photos of the handles, breech, aiming devices, and so on...

Great web-site by the way!!!

Will this shot be any use to you (not the best quality I'm afraid)?



There are a few additional 25pdr photos in my gallery, in the fullsize folder.

Useful photo, but I beleive that for a ww2 gun those handwheels should be painted green with the paint worn off of the edges, and the breech would be 'oily steel' and not usually painted. The layers seat ( painted brown? in the pic ) should also be green as per the main colour.

To sort out the differences between WW2 and post war 25 pounders, this is one of the few books on the subject...JIm

You may also find some useful photos here AFV Interiors/ Sexton . The training/elevation wheel arangement may? differ slightly from the field mount but could be helpful for the sights and breech.
