Default Model 1897 French 75

Picked this up the other day,,,,, going to do a some minor work on it and then it might be available for sale. Has an original French carriage and original wheels that were just redone...live breech, considered a salute device per BATF, fires 75mm blank salute rounds..recuperator tube has been cut and a small sleeve welded in the breech so it can't take long 75 rounds. Currently it is in French field gray, not the camo pattern... Need to paint the wheels, install the shield, attach the sight box to the shield, do some other minor finishing work...
