ORDNANCE SUPPLY CATALOG Pricing Guide 9 Aug 1945 new pages
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.

That was a few years before I was even eligible to possess currency. It was a few decade more before I actually managed to do so that wasn't pretty much already spoken for by somebody else.

No wonder the M4A6 was never produced in large numbers. Look at the price tag compared to the other Shermans. M4A6 â€¦..$61,379.00 M4 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$46,115.00 M4A1 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$44,698.00 M4A2 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$42,788.00 M4A3 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$41,530.00 M4A4 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$43,409.00

No wonder the M4A6 was never produced in large numbers. Look at the price tag compared to the other Shermans.

M4A6 â€¦..$61,379.00
M4 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$46,115.00
M4A1 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$44,698.00
M4A2 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$42,788.00
M4A3 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$41,530.00
M4A4 (75mm 16â€?track)â€¦â€¦$43,409.00

Well remember that the M4A6 entire production cost is distributed over 75 units, not the hundreds or thousands of other models.

IIRC these numbers were based on average contract prices which are only vaguely representative of the actual unit costs of the items. For example, there were five factories involved in making M4s and I have seen documents describing the range of costs for the same tank at various plants. The most reliable numbers are for the M4A4, built at only one plant, but even that is affected by Government funding of the facility, spare parts orders, and Government Furnished Material (GFI or Government Free Issue in the lingo of the times)
