Default British 75mm Gun Gauge

I bought this unseen for my collection thinking it was a 6 pdr Gauge but it is actually a British 75mm gun (tank) chamber gauge,N050 dated 1944.
It is the same profile and size as the M18 case.

No good to me unfortunately.
Contact for more info ,75mm Gun spanner also available.

Rob, that's interesting, as it's for the 75mm. bored out 6pdr. barrels that were used on some british tanks, later in the war, the chamber was the same as US 75mm. Sherman tank, M18 as you say, as that ammunition was used for these.

I had a barrel with schrapnel damage years ago, externally same as 6pdr. interrnally 75mm.

Cheers,

Lex
