CFR Request Thread

[Josh Mordarski]

Hi all,

Just purchased an Iltis today, making my (arguably insane) decade-old dream come true. I'm hoping I can learn a little more of the history of my new truck.

CFR 85-87240

It's got 12 RBC stenciled on the tarp, and 728 COMM SQN on two of the doors. I know 12 RBC is based out of Valcatraz and Trois Rivieres, and 728 Comm Sqn (now 37 Signals Regiment) is based out of Newfoundland & Labrador, and New Brunswick, but those could have come from anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Your Iltis was sold out of Valcartier in Aug 2005.

Thanks Ed! Any chance there is more info? As it was sold out of CFB Valcartier, I'm guessing it may have in fact been homed at some point with 12 RBC?

Also, a friend purchased an Iltis and M101 trailer at auction last year, I'm hoping you might have some good info for him too?

CFR 86628 (Iltis)
CFR 0329 (Trailer)

Thanks again!

I did not record the full unit history for every Iltis on CF inventory, but it could well have been used by 12RBC.

86628 was also sold out of Valcartier at the same time as yours and M101CDN2 0329 was CFR 16726 and was disposed out of Land Force Western Area Training Centre - Wainwright in January 2004.

Awesome! Thanks again Ed!

Hi, I'm looking about information on a strange looking M38A1. The seller said that it came like this from the army and it was not customized.
I'm still figure out how to post pics.

The nameplate read: Ordonnance 2230 delivered 12 30 52 model M38A1cnd contract demand lv 600 army
Serial number is something -200064

There is also a number on the dashboard: 5332210.

Can you tell me more about it? I'm new in the hobby. Does it worth something?

The engine is stuck and not in it right now.

Your M38A1CDN is strange looking because it was modified to mount the M40A1 Recoilless Rifle.
