A stab in the dark, would be towed artillery.

Supporting that belief, you can read Travelling Front on the canvas below the reflector.

I don't quite understand why there would be a reflector at the Travelling Front though.
Would that not be a waste of time, unless used to reverse a vehicle for hitching !?!

Looks like two more lines of print under that as well, Tony.

I can't make those out, David.

Am prepared to bet money they don't say Made in China!

hello
I always try to identify this canvas cover.
A person tells me I could be a Borfors cover , could it be possible?

Sylvain,

That may well be possible, the two "ears" on your canvas would cover the sights on both sides of the breech.

HTH,
