Information on the T54
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.

I thought that all this information might be of interest to someone. This is 'our' early model T54. There are a bunch of stamped info located on 3 places of the front slope. Regards Don

If I can read it correct it is 5309G017 in latin script. Where is this tank located, I have s/n 5210G005 as located on Fort Knox? Thanks for the info!! regards, Lesley

I have 5210G005 also and it is also on the vehicle. That is why I posted all the different stampings, to see if there was something unique on this vehicle. There is only one T54 here. Don

If that is an early model T-54 where is the MG hole? _________________ Inevitably Jared

Right were it's supposed to be. It's pluged, but it's there. The main thing that confirms it's an early T54 is the so called "Z" weld where the plates meet. The MG hole is not an identifier of T54s, as it was present on early build T55s also.
