T-34 identification
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

here it is :
http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=583455

the owner thinks that it is a T-34/76 with T-34/85 turret, but some guys on the forum said that the hull is an early T-34/85, so you seem to confirm that it is definitely not a T-34/76. A shame that the owner wants to restore it as a late T-34/76, and wants to change the /85 turret for a /76 one.

The first digit is the year of production (44), the second and third is the month of production. I don't know if the ''76'' was still in production on that date? Regards Lesley

We cannot make any conclusions before the good photo of the serial number will be available.
Now I can say only that I said at the WA forum several monthes ago.

I think the owner of this tank made too fast decisions.
But this is common for all beginners in the restoration.
