RickC5 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Posted November 8, 2010 OK Mark, For the benefit of us armor folks like me, who are almost (not quite) totally ignorant of British armor--could you please give us a quick background on this vehicle? Given that it has stars on it, I'm led to believe it might be WWII era, but if so, it looks way too contemporary for a WWII British vehicle. After all, the majority of what they fielded in WWII looks like it was designed in 1920 or so--at least to me it does.
Mark Aldrich Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Rick, Good write ups here.... http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/GreatBr...pelledGuns.html http://www.miniatures.de/spg-archer.html http://www.armourinfocus.co.uk/archer/index.htm These were eventually sold to or given to the Egyptians and that is why I have an interest. Hope that helps! P.S. Do you have any close ups of your M-10? Mark Edited November 8, 2010 by Mark Aldrich
802chrisg Posted November 8, 2010 Report Posted November 8, 2010 The Archer was based on the Valentine tank. The 17 pdr was mounted backwards in an open top fighing compartment. Produced from 1942-1944.

Do you have any close ups of your M-10? Mark The main gun had limited movement, but was mounted backwards. How typically British. I got a good laugh out of that one. M10 photo, but I sure didn't like the way the camera's flash washed out the colors. I think it looks MUCH better in person--of course I do. Edited November 9, 2010 by RickC5
