Saw this on eBay. Says its almost a foot long. Working traverse and elevation.
Does not look U.S. but maybe Brit, German or Russian.
Sure one of you guys will enjoy this.

i remember seeing that once before. Sort of loosely based on the Russian 76.2 mm field gun i think. Not very accurate though.

True, but if the scale is right its a pretty good start for a kitbash into something plausible.

As already said though if willing to work on it some,well a great base to work from

i guess. I think it might be just as easy to build it from scratch. Almost everything is the wrong shape/size. It is good 'inspiration' though and the 76.2mm gun was an extremely significant weapon, historically.
Keep those artillery finds coming! They're rare indeed...
