What do u mean by "Not accessible"? Last year there were over 4000 visitors. You just have to join a group visit. Very easy to do that. Will be there next week and try to take some pics...


It's not like a museum open to the general public.


www.armeemuseum.ch/ind...=6&L=1
Visits to the HSAM Foundation collections in Thun, Burgdorf and Bern are possible in guided groups and by appointment


Places like Wildegg or Schaffausen open just a few days a year, but at least they have a clear schedule, I can read the schedule on their website, be there on the date/time that fits my needs and visit.

As for being "very easy", I asked twice by email in the past, to the address listed on the page above. I wrote in English and never got an answer.

Thun. Army base. R/N 78587
Used as monument inside the base, the R/N indeed looks weird, and it could easily be a mistake


I've got an official army list from 1960. The M+ numbers for 23 (?) Panzerwagen 39 "Praga" were M+78900 - 78922. It looks by then that 1 Praga was already put ouf of service (reason unknown).

M+78587 is a registration number for a Centurion Mk3.

Dear zemsi,
ever received the imitation weapons? Not serve to the end of his career to training?

Sincerely JRT

Hi Jiri

I don't have any further information about the dummy gun. All what I know is from Massimo.

Chris
