Default 25 pdr rip-off

Georgetown has a marvellous little WW2 memorial park with two 25 pdrs that were just refurbished. Sometime in the past two years a thief visited and using prybar and destructive equipment
broke off the two long bars that are used to move the gun side to side when emplacing it before firing. The perpetrator left broken mounts behind, and somehow the gun looks wounded.
Obviously you haveto own a 25 pdr to need these so it narrows the list. Anyone got two spare we could reinstall?

You would be disgusted with what gets sold for scrap! The Armoury In New westminster B.C. had the brass plaques stolen of the building as well as some nearby iron fencing. No wonder scrap dealers have such a lousy reputation when they buy all this stuff of the losers that walk in there back door.
