I am looking for a ladder for my M-152 like the one beside the tailgate in picture one. Might you be willing to part with it?

Lots of those ladders out this way in the local milsurp scrapyard. Shipping would be prohibitive, mind you.

Hey Rob, looks like another reason for me to hit this scrap yard. I will be through there next week. Could you email me directions as to how to get there.dan@danmclaren.com

Default markings

Hello Dano

Based on the photos that i have seen and the info.

I would say your markings are correct for the 1960's in Germany.

I still can't say what unit 67 is, as i do not have the Unit numbering for that era.

Based on the colour photos that i have seen, it would appear that the infantry units had the solid red background while the others had their usual service colours as per WW2 markings.

I have seen photos of a 1, 7, 8, 9,17,35, 60, 68 painted white on a red background.

Eric

Never take markings as applied for Gospel...
My M38A1 CDN3 had markings that in no way represent any unit, known or unknown and made no sense at all. They appeared "original" but a 15 year old faded paintjob by the previous owners and some artistic license does wonders over time...

I have found some information while i was talking with a guy in ottawa he thinks that the markings are correct and sent me to this site. http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/orga...ions/4cmbg.htm

The formation marking that was blocking me was the first canadian infantry division but the 4cmbg used the same making red with yellow maple leaf. So i think that it was the 4 CMBG And the 22nd regiment so the markings are probably correct.
