Newly re-manufactured rear trail for 7,7cm (1917)

The trail for the 1917 dated 7,7cm was cut off.  I have re-built the trail based on the 1896 dated 7,7cm.  You can see the “96 dated piece in the background.  The spade now must be fabricated and riveted to the trail.

 

New Wheels for the 7,7cm over the 10,cm wheels

Newly made “wartime type” wheels by Matthew C. Switlik for the 7,7cm.  They are pictured in front of another set of “wartime type” wheels for the 10,5cm that were also manufactured by Matt. These wheels differ from the pre-war wheels in that they have no metal fittings connecting the felloes and spokes.  They also have a steel channel running around the inside of the tire to retain the felloes.

The 10,5cm lFH Limber looks much the same but the shells fit in vertically.
