I've lost all my pencils ~
In 1919 the CEF brought back all of the captured German Machine guns, Cannon , well pretty much every thing including a Junkers ground attack aircraft and an AEG Bomber (we still have these). Lots of the guns went to War memorials. The War Museum had I believe four of these monsters, one is complete. The others were just barrels, and they deaccessioned the barrels ( a pain in the A-s for sure they were) and this is one. There are serial number records of where these were captured and by whom, but I don't know if this has a number, or if it did on a plate, that is gone now.
What will I do with it ? A - possibly trade it to a worthy institution if any are interested (feel free to tell any if you know one interested - shipping will be frightful unless it's a Government job) B- use it as a fine Decorative Thing of beauty ! --
