Hello
Im sure there are others with more knowledge that can answer you properly in this matter.
A suggestion could be a 10,5 cm leFH(?) with damaged barrel.

This could be the one, but only there are several different kinds of the 10,5 cm le F.H. as for
example the 16, 18-40M, 18L, 18M, 42 and the 43. Unfortunately I don't have enough reference
material to find out wich one.

Hello All

Stril is right it is a 10,5 cm leF.H. 18/40 ,
because the splitt pole trail are round and the
others are squire.

@ @ndrew, Nice pictures from 7,5 cm PaK 40, but you can easy see that this is not the same as the one I'm looking for: mine hase recoil compensator above missing barrel 7,5 cm PaK 40 doesn't have this.

@ Stril, I think you are right, it must be the 10,5 cm le F.H. 18-40. Thanks for your help.

With regards, Benno
