I need help identifying a 50 caliber towed antitank gun - pictures attached. It is NOT a rebarrelled 37mm cannon nor a rebarrellAttachment 85971Attachment 85972Attachment 85973ed Britishicon two pounder. The piece is about two thirds the size of a 37 mm. The opening in the breach is the size of a quarter. Ergo it seems to be purpose built for .50BMG and entirely too small for 20mm and 37mm rounds. The scope is dated 1942 and obviously the shield is missing as well as the tires are obviously civilian tires. Further, the flash hider 'seems' to be an aftermarket addition(?).
Does anyone seen one of these before and can tell me exactly what it is? (See photos #2, #4, & #4A)
Feel free to call me or email if you have lengthy additional questions or an answer for me. I have numerous additional photographs.
Thanks for the help. John, 714-654-5877 jcwhite007@gmail.com
