German Wehrmacht 4,7 cm Pzgr. Patr. 36 (t) Transport tube Museum Condition 1940.

Very nice and hard to find transport tube for the captured Czech 4,7 cm round. Germans also produced the ammo for the guns, both rounds Czech and German made are really hard to find, this tube is German made, so if you are a lucky collector and have a complete round in your collection or you collect packagings, this is for you because the tubes are even harder to find than the rounds. Meassures are 60 x 7 cm. It will be shipped inside another cardboard tube.

This is the history:
"The 4,7 cm KPÚV vz. 38, (Czech: kanón proti útočné vozbě vzor 38), was an anti-tank gun produced by the Škoda Works that saw service in World War II. Originally designed for the Czechoslovak Army, some were also sold to Yugoslavia. A number were appropriated by the Germans after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939 and used under the designations 4.7 cm PaK (t) or PaK 38 (t). The Germans continued production and mounted the PaK 38 (t) on the Panzerkampfwagen I chassis as the Panzerjäger I tank destroyer. A similar attempt to mount it on the chassis of captured Renault R-35 tanks was less successful."
The barrel had the unique feature of being able to swing 180° so that the barrel laid flat over the trails for transport and the outer part of the trails could be also folded inward to reduce its size. The gun had a small gun shield and wooden-spoked wheels. Although rather elderly-looking, its performance was superior to most contemporary designs at the time and the gun was armed with both AP rounds and HE rounds for infantry support.
