Just got a really cool Tiger part in the mail today. Fellow member 'RustyRelics' was kind enough to offer this part to me, and we ended up working out a trade. This part actually comes from the same seller in Ukraine that some of my other parts were sourced from. This is yet another Tiger relic from the Korsun pocket.
This is a fragment from the breech of the main gun. Despite its size it definitely has some weight to it. My scale is telling me this part weighs right at 10 pounds. There’s still a fair amount of original German paint left on this fragment. It certainly hasn’t been cleaned or restored, but the piece isn’t in all that bad of a condition. So I’m just going to leave it as-is and not paint it. If anything, in the future I may coat this with some ren wax.
