A little unexpected, the other half says she'd quite like it if I got a 6pdr... or 17pdr... how realistic are either?
Would probably have to off load one of my 75mm Pack Howitzers to make some space though... and most likely would then only have space for a 6pdr. Cheers Tim |

Keep hold of her Tim! I find it best to get something and then tell my wife I've had it all the time.......
6 or 17 pr are not easy to find. I can move my 6 pr around with a handspike on my own, a 17 pr would be a different thing altogether, though I'd love to add one to the collection!

I have a little item in the workshop at the moment under restoration, much rarer than a 6 pdr and 17 pdr put together and takes up a lot less space probably less than your 75mm pack howitzer !

Was very surprised a few months ago when she received a copy of "anti-tank guns of WW2" thought I'd stumbled over an early Christmas present - then she told me she'd bought it for herself!!! Her grandfather was an anti-tank gunner with 72nd Anti-Tank Regt RA at Monte Cassino. Moving something around would also necessitate a 6pdr I think... we will see. Would have to be a 6pdr not the 57mm... could manage an airborne version though. Cheers Tim |

I was thinking that, it would be right up your street.

I've only seen one 6 pdr come up for sale in the last ten years, I got mine with a direct approach!
As rare as they are, airborne models are even rarer in private hands. You might get lucky with an exchange though.
