Hello all,I thought I would post a few photos of a piece of equipment usually only seen from a distance or in faded photographs. Although the dust cover and the leather pull lanyard have gone to time,It is still an impressive piece of equipment.

It will never do battle again but I sure wish it could talk! It was a farewell gift from an elderly veteran who knew I would care for it.He will be pleased to hear I am sharing it with others who appreciate history. Regards,Geoff
I actually know a collector of these items.. Perhaps, If need be he can assist you on any questions.. Nice piece.. G

Missing the sighting level that wrapped around the base of the tube right above the knurled knob. However most didn't have this feature I think.

And as GWAR said, welcome.
