M4A1 Sherman @ Sinsheim museum (DE) - curious modification
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.

Looks perhaps like an attachment for a dozer blade? image57.webshots.com/7...NFC_fs.jpg Neil

Thanks Neil and Hanno for your replies. I just noticed that the picture didn't appear on the first message (and the link Neil provided don't show any picture too), so I modified it.. Pierre-Olivier _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates
