#1: more missing pieces Author: armyjunk2, Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 6:34 pm ---- Hello again, Anyone know what this piece is? Signage is incorrect I believe ..

Could this be a shipboard gun? If you any further info I could go up there and look, it's only an hour away.
As I recall it is a Vickers or Armstrong-Whitworth or some other obviously British gun. How did it get here?

Massimo
It could easy be a Skoda, it was captured by the 36th Division and they fought in Italy. Doesn't seem exactly the same but very close, the pic I have came offline so its the only one I have.
Kurt
All the info I have on the 5inch Pedestal is that it's in Youngstown and its a Coast Artillery piece, I have no idea if its there, but I was told they had one. Should have ID info on the muzzle end of the tube.
The Dravosburg PA 4.7in QF MKIV is a good find, I think there are about 6 around the country, Fort Moultrie has one.
