I just got a junky 57mm to restore, and need to know if you have any left over parts, or a line on them.

Thanks

That's a nice setup. Is the 15 cwt CMP an original anti-tank tractor? I'm trying to find details of the fittings in the box of the ATT. Could you email me pix of the interior of the box? Thanks

I have a 57mm M1 at our American Legion Post. It is in much better condition than the one you restored. The breach has only a few small welds and some concrete in the barrel. We are looking at the possibility of bring this gun back to serviceable condition. I am searching for the TOE for setting this gun up. The barrel is made by Yoder Co. 1942, The Carriage is International Harvester 1942. Any help or information would be great!

Very nicly done the 6-pndr restoration. (And that is an understatement) One remark though being restored as a regular 6 pdr the pegasus emblem on it is a bit like a parachute wing on a regular infantry helmet! My compliments to those who were involved in it's restoration.
regards, Jim (Holland)

MY FATHER FOUGHT AT ARNHEM,ALSO N.AFRICA,SICILY & ITALY. HE SERVED WITH NO2 COMMANDO 11th SAS 1st PARACHUTE BATTALION,1st PARACHUTE BRIGADE AS A PLATOON SGT AND COLOUR SGT ERIC SEAL FOUGHT WITH HIS COMRADES NEAR THE CROSSROADS AND EVENTUALLY HE OCCUPPIED A SLIT TRENCH OUTSIDE THE HARTENSTEIN HOTEL. I COULD ADD MORE BUT HIS STORY CAN BE READ IN "MEN OF THE RED BERET" BY MAX ARTHUR AND ARNHEM 1944 BY MARTIN MIDDLEBROOKE. WHERE HE IS MENTIONED BRIEFLY. I WAS VERY PLEASED WHEN THEY PLACED HIS PHOTOGRAPH NEXT TO HIS FRIENDS CPL REG CURTIS {AUTHOR OF CHURCHHILL'S VOLUNTEER} AND LT RICHARD BINGLEY WHO LIKE MY FATHER REGARDED THEMSELVES AS A BUNCH OF PIRATES THE ORIGINAL RED DEVILS. SADLY MY FATHER PASSED AWAY IN MARCH 2003 AND IN MEMORY OF HIM IN SEPTEMBER 17 2004 I PARACHUTED INTO ARNHEM FROM ONE OF THE DAKOTA'S AND LAID A WREATH TO MY FATHER.  HE WAS ESPECIALLY PLEASED ABOUT MY APPEARANCE IN BAND OF BROTHERS AS A FRENCH CAPTAIN AND A GATHERING STORM AS A M.P. AS THIS IS MY CAREER I AM EMPLOYED IN. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING A BOOK DEDICATED TO MY FATHER AND HIS FRIENDS. YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS ARE VERY GOOD, ONE OF MY FATHERS FRIENDS WAS IN CHARGE OF A MORTAR DETACHMENT AND HE SAW SGT BASKERFIELD KNOCK OUT A NUMBER OF GERMAN TANKS BEFORE BEING KILLED. IM SURE THESE MEN WOULD HAVE BEEN PLEASED BY YOUR DISPLAY YOURS SINCERELY SCOTT SEAL BA (HONS).
