While you are on the subject, any leads on cleaning kit for the 25Pdr? In particular, brushes and stave. Or loading tools?

All I have to spare for a 25 pdr is the quick release and the come-a-long for doing the recouperator pullback. The quick release is an ok size item, but the chain hoist is a hernia waiting to happen.

The three on the left are 105mm Leopard horse hair or brass brissel brushes. The eye at the top should have a split pin so it can come apart/unscrew. I have some about and will get some photos. The right one looks very similar to what is used by M1A1 crews. Now if it measures 105mm and not 120mm then it could be the earlier M1 with 105 gun.
However the first 3, I am sure of. Easo

Thanks Easo, that's the information I was looking for. It's been over 30 years since I was on the leopards and have no recollection of the bore brushes. The one on the right is the standard 105 brush used on the 105 howitzers and 106 recoiless.

Bore Brushes
They look like Leopard, although the 105mm Centurion was was very similar. However, we could always tell the difference as the German Leopard ones are metric threaded while the British ones were British thread type (not sure which one BSW, BSF or BSP) and would not thread onto the Leopard gun staves. US 105mm will be threaded NC or NPT I imagine.
