Anybody have a photo showing a PaK 44 with the breach open? I'm thinking that when the breach is open the handle on the right side is perpendicular to the block .... parallel when closed. Want to set up the one I'm working on being loaded.

If you've been searching, try using breech instead of breach.

That would match up with pictures I've seen of other model Pak's with an open breech. Maybe even a little further back than perpendicular using the Pak 40 as a guide.
