Yes,

I've seen pictures of her that were posted by Jeff Button.

M60, M60A1, and M60A2 serial numbers went in sequence (there are some gaps though). For some reason the new M60A3 series started over with 1. My current info has the Anniston rebuilds starting around 1700, with an "A", and Mainz starting around 3300 with an "M". I have yet to find hard proof that they repeated the SN's between Detroit, Mainz and Anniston. If they did, It would really add to total number of A3's produced, which are already more than the 5400 you see published in most references. To add to the mess, very late Anniston rebuilds retained the M60A1 number.

So in a nutshell, they have the same SN, along with many other M60's and M60A3's that were made in Detroit.

Joe,
I seem to also have an M60A0 listed in the 4th ID Museum Storage Facility as SN 836?

Neil,

SN 836 is a newly built Detroit A3, Just like SN 837 at Crecy Hall on Knox.

More Richardson Vehicles:

This M3 was a new arrival a couple of years ago:

A few confirmation SN's from Richardson MP:

M60A3- SN: 836

I think this should be an M60A1 RISE... No A or M for an A3 rebuild SN.

M3 Light- SN: 1343

This one has me confused... I have three M3 Stuarts in storage:

M3 Stuart SN 158 (empty hull & turret) as you noted;
M3A1 Stuart SN 8722 (empty hull & turret) as you noted; and
M3A1 Stuart diesel SN 793 (converted from an M3).

I also had 2 M3A1 Stuarts in the museum - SN 8281, and an unidentified SN.

Plus another M3A3 Stuart in the LST Building - SN 10673.

Perhaps this is the second one that was in the museum?

Thanks for all the info!

Here is a shot of the turret rear of M26 (Chrysler built #10) with the torch cut 'chunk'. This vehicle was received about 2 years ago.

Did some trimming of this thread today so some old posts, old business, and old issues are gone. Things were probably getting bewildering for new visitors so if it seemed no longer relevant or had been incorporated into updates to the registry, it was pruned. Old posts with potentially useful links are left intact, so if somewhere a post quotes or answers a previous post that you can't find, that's why.

Keep up the great work!

Clarification is needed here, all the wrecks on the ranges are the property off the Royal Army Museum in Brussels. That creates the strange situation that you can fire upon a wreck and blow it to tiny bits, but you can’t get a part of it without the permission of the museum. It’s very rare that the museum gives permission to sell a wreck, I never even heard of such a sell.

Durbuy: They are new to me, looking at the pictures that guy has a lot off courage. Seems strange to me that the museum sold those wrecks, usualy getting a single bold from them is a hell off a job (and I work for them).l

Michel,

these wrecks don't come from a museum, but from the Elsenborn training area.
