Default I bid on them...

But very soon out of my price range. If someone here on MLU was the buyer, I sure would appreciate a copy of originals if possible. Nice to see originals none the less. Cheers Rob

Rob

You could try emailing the seller - tell them you have a 17pdr and are looking for photocopies/scans of the manual, but didnt see the auction in time - ask them if they will forward your email address for the buyer to contact you. I've done this before and found I get a 50/50 response success rate from the buyer.

Given the price they went for, fair chance the buyer will be happy to sell you scans to recover some of their cost.

Rob ,

I recommend that you check this website out, Rob van meel http://www.robvanmeel.nl/?q=catalog/340 reproduces manuals to a very good standard and has some 17 pdr copies available.
I can certainly vouch for the Illustrated parts list as I have one here.
If you have no joy direct let me know and I will get one for you.

This group of 17 pdr manuals I think were about right with value, the Handbook and maintenance manual are worth around £75 each and the drill book £20 ,the pamphlet £10.

Rob..................rnixartillery.
