Tiger pistol port question

[Philip Dunn]

Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone can provide me with the part number for the pistol port cover plate on the rear of the turret.
Are all the covers for all the various year's that the Tiger was produced the same part number?

Thanks

Phil

Can anyone possibly offer help with my request?

Hello Philip

The pistol port on the early Tiger is CE0431E
I do not have the all the previous versions to hand but will likely be variations of CE0431

[Adrian Harris]

I've checked the manuals I have and Sean is correct that they're all CE0431 or CE0431E (Early?).

I've never had a Late Tiger, so can't confirm if that's different.

Is the original poster talking about the pistol port:

https://tiger1.info/EN/Pistol-port-2.html

or the turret emergency escape hatch which is also round but hinged at the bottom to open outwards?

Vince, I am asking about the pistol port on the rear of the turret as you show in your post

Thanks everyone for your help and assistance with my query

My understanding is that the pistol port was not fitted to the Late Tiger 1.

Cheers

Tiger pistol port as shown by Vince Cutajar, is the original early version this was updated on the mid version to a simplified plug this was retained by x2 chains. Later on this was dropped and by the time of the late version was discontinued completely.
