This thread has inspired me to go on eBay and look for ww2 German tank parts.

Hi Marco,
Nice collections! The more I see, the more track links and pins found on the shelf.
The sprocket beneath the King Tiger track links, looks like not in whole one. I wonder how did you find it? :?:

Regards,
Lerh Chang

I bought this at Bovington Tankfest, they are made from track link ends to raise money for the Desert Rat Association. I believe this is the track link end from the Ajax Strike AFV.

I’m now the proud owner of a little piece of history, if it’s real and shows up from the Ukraine!

I’d like to ad it to my build now that I have learned about the tradition!

Good afternoon everybody.

I don't have a lot of tank parts, save a track link from a Matilda, found when felling trees on the estate where I work. The estate was used for tank driver training during WW2.
Track link a.jpg
I use it to prop up the bird table.

Since I started working on the estate I have had "encounters" with artifacts associated with military life. Only yesterday we came across this tank shell possibly 6pdr or 75mm which we believe had been dumped the nearby stream, found, realized what it was, :shock: :shock: then dumped.
6pd or 75 mm (2).jpg
It was reported to the police and dealt with accordingly, and safety I hope. As was the encounter in 2005 with this

whilst clearing branches from a track.

We also found these pigs tails

under the root plates of some windthrown larch trees near to where troops were accommodated. No buildings now, just foundations sticking out of the grass.

I do sometimes wonder what we may find next. :?

Take care.
Charles
