Arsenalen
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.

Can we derive additional info from the serial? Do we know the manufacturer?
Is it possible that was converted to Firefly after the battle damages?

That Sherman has in interesting story, it was used as test bed to try components during the Strv 103 program. I've seen pictures of it on a book, but I can't post them here due to copyright. You may try to contact Arsenalen's director to get copies of those pictures, since at least one is part of the Museum's display.

At one point it was restored back to look like a Firefly, but seems like some mistake happened in the process.

The tank also had splinter damage on the hull's right side, since it arrived in Sweden (before it was modified). Mr Karlsson would love to know more about it, to be able to unveil the tank service career before it was shipped to Sweden and hopefully understand where and when the damage was inflicted.

I wasn't able to see the S/N, but Mr Karlsson most likely has it.

Hope it may help.

- the_shadock
so.. let's see what you were able to photograph on the M4A4 Firefly


I collected all my shots inside this .zip file:
massimocorner.com/afv/...irefly.zip

Please note it's very large, 700 Mb. It will be available for a week or two, then I will remove it from the server (because it consumes too much space)
