The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I know there aren't that many still around. I guess our US friends will like this one. I tried to add something useful to the SN hunters out there too Smile

Well, that mades five then. There is one at Knox and one in Buenos Aires. The Argentine one lacks the fake "guns", but it is clearly visible where the weld marks were.

Unfortunately those are casting marks. Generally, SNs are stamped "in" to the hull. Casting marks are raised out...

I have this shot where you can see something, but not thjat much:

No problem Massimo. I'd recommend downloading Jeff Lewis' Serial Number Guide, its very good & helpful.
