Nope. Think a little bit bigger and from a different part of Europe.

Wow, this one took some finding as it is the early version and looks quite different to the normal wartime one, but I think it's the Canon leger de 25 antichar SA-L mle 1934.
Or to put it more simply the Hotchkiss 25 mm Anti-tank gun model 34. I'm more familiar with the model 37 that the Brits used in France in 1940.
Go on, tell me I'm wrong after all that


Derek,
It actually is the Canon leger de 25 antichar SA-L mle 1937. There are more pics of it on my website: 25mm ATG

IIRC, the British used the model 1934. I'll have to check one of my books when I get home unless someone can fill us in before then.

I guess its your turn now.

"What British tank was in fact the "inspiration" for the American M-3 Lee/Grant and M-4 Shemans?"

A13 Cruiser?

For the canon AT question, the item shown is a flash eliminator not a muzzle brake. Muzzle brakes are designed to slow the recoil of the gun whereas this one with its conical shape and perforations is to hide the muzzle flash.
Just a bit of useless info for you

It's actually a10.5 cm, or if you mean calibers in the sense of tube length, then it's 50.

10.5cm is correct! We have a winner! Your turn.

Dealer's choice? I guess asking for NSN's out of TM9-2350-311-20-1 would be too easy. Somebody out there is bound to have it.
I'll go for the best two out of three on these:

Well, you're close on two. I was hoping the one inch grid underneath the carriage would make that one an easy one.

#2 looks like the precursor to the M2 aiming circle.
