Victor! Your tank is fantastic, first one I ever saw, wow, really nice. My old 60mm Army Howitzer which was bought by me via mailorder in 1958 was lost in a move many moons ago, so I replaced it with one in good condition off of fleabay about a year ago. I know I have told this before, but it bears repeating: The most fun we kids ever had with the 60 was in my backyard after I stuffed a handful of hard, green, elderberries in the tube, stems and all! The trick was to chase the other 3 boys around and try to get close enough for a 'cannister shot', without splashing water on the flint and steel igniter and killing any chance for a spark! Only one rule: Backshots only! No front or face shots! Some boy 'patterned my back' one day; boy did that sting!!

The 60mm Howitzer enjoys a place of honor on the shop's nick-nack shelf along with 37mm Hotchkiss rounds, mugs, munitions and a Juarez glass elephant bought long ago when it was safe to venture there.
