Product Description
The British Ordnance QF 6-pounder (57mm) 7 CWT, dated 1942, is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of wartime engineering. Developed during World War II, this anti-tank gun played a pivotal role in the Allied forces' efforts to counter Axis armored vehicles. Known for its impressive firepower and versatility, the 6-pounder was widely used across various theaters of war, from the deserts of North Africa to the fields of Europe.
This 1942-dated model showcases the classic design features that made the 6-pounder a formidable weapon. Its 57mm caliber allowed for effective penetration of enemy armor, while its relatively light weight of 7 CWT (hundredweight) made it mobile and adaptable on the battlefield. The gun could be deployed quickly and operated by a small crew, providing essential support in both offensive and defensive operations.
Collectors and historians will appreciate the historical significance of this piece, which remains a symbol of British engineering excellence and military strategy during one of the most challenging periods of the 20th century. Whether displayed in a museum, used for reenactments, or studied for its technological advancements, the British Ordnance QF 6-pounder is a remarkable artifact of wartime history
