A 1944 40L70....... That's a British gun built after 1953.

you might be right. There are some true experts on this forum and I'm not one of them.

The plate has been restamped. No need really, it it what it is and the 40L70 is a rare and long serving piece.

trailer is totally different than the M4 WWII US Army trailer. Has same functions but just set up differently with different attachments and operating levers.

I have access to a Bofors trailer, minus the gun. Is there any market for parts off it? I plan on trying to salvage the combat wheels. Would there be anything else that would be worth my time to pull off it before it gets chopped up to be recycled?
