    Thanks. What's that just forward of the trigger guard? Something to do with breech-loading?

    Centurian BARV is correct, though I don't suppose you needed me to tell you that!

    And thanks for the link, I was having a look there the other day. I'll sign up and find a 'fun fact' to post.

    Edit: Can't Rep you right now sorry. Remind me later.

    I don't.

    The No.76 Special Incendiary Grenade was an improvished British weapon. It was issued to Dad's army..the Home Guard and could be fired by the Northover Projector or thrown like a hand grenade. After the Dunkirk evacuation the British military was short of equipment. As a result the home guard was issued with obsolete weapons or improvised cheap weapons that didn't use materials that were needed for the regular army's equipment.

    New picture.

    Love those things (the vehicle and the No.76)

    Had you seen the No.76 before?

    No, but I've seen other improvised weapons for the home guard. Somebody, I think it was you, posted the Smith Gun in Ye Olde Thread a few years ago. And I know you're fond of British equipment.
    Improvised British weapons from WW-II like the Smith Gun, the No. 76 grenade, the Blacker Bombard, the Armadillo AFV and the Bison concrete armoured lorry may seem resourceful but it's a good thing that they were never used in combat. Especially the No. 76 sounds like a dangerous piece of equipment (WP in a glass bottle!).

    Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper is correct. This one is in Liberty Park, Overloon, The Netherlands.

    Darkhorse knew what it was, but didn't say it.

    Here's an easy one anyway ... it's just so fantastic I thought it deserved posting.

    He probably wanted somebody else to guess it because it wasn't very hard. I sometimes do the same.
