this is one of 525 M4A3(76) VVSS manufactured by Fisher, it was remanufactured to HVSS in the 1950s. We only know 5 surviving M4A3(76) manufactured by Fisher.

You can see that tank at 961 E 44th St in Google Streetview.

The article here says the tank in Seward was originally in Lincoln. I have a Linclon Sherman with SN 44098. The Seward location is 201 N 8th St, Seward, NE 68434.

re: the Lincoln tank moved tp Seward, NE. The Nebraska National Guard is/was moving its museum from the old State Fair Grounds in Lincoln, NE to a new location at an older armory in Seward, NE (about 20miles distance).

The Nebr. Guard museum has an M60, M113, M4A3E8 and an M59. All vehicles have been moved. I don't know if they are ready for display or not - I haven't gone out to see the new site yet.
