    Default Road Wheel from Panther - need wartime picture

    I have a road wheel from a WWII German Panther Ausf. G. I has a large 75mm shell hole it. Based on the hole, this was one of the 8 outer road wheels. This is supposedly from a Panther that was hit outside of Bastogne Belgium (9th SS Panzer Div?). I am looking for a wartime picture of this Panther with the shell hole in the wheel. I believe that this Panter was moving when hit based on several track teeth marks in the rubber. I also believe that this was a newer Panther based on the minimal wear to the rubber (the casting seam going down the center of the rubber is still present). - Van

    I'm fairly certain that that bottom color picture is a model!
    Thanks for posting the pictures. Not quite a match for my road wheel.

    I would imagine that there were numerous Panzer's disabled with wheel or track shots......
