Default 17 pdr anti tank gun

Hoping to add a 17 pdr to the collection, preferably live. Happy to import, paperwork not a problem. Would consider carriage only.

Well, it pays to advertise!

Thanks to a fellow MLUer, I managed to add this to the collection. It's fairly complete and I'm very happy. As always, on the look out for any tools, accessories etc, particularly looking for a maintenance manual.
