- C_ShermanI haven't forgotten, just busy!
- TrevorLarkum- TrevorLarkum- C_ShermanTrevor,
Are you tracking two tanks at Chiriaco Summit? I have pics of a green one and a brown MERDC one there.
Yes please!

Joe,
That M47 was still by the motorpool as of late 2008, although it's an 11ACR motorpool now. I have pics of it too.
Chuck
and again!
A bump for C_Sherman!

SN for this tank is confirmed from the front tow lugs as being SN 2796.

- Massimo_FotiTrevor, I was in Solbiate Olona 10 days ago but, once again, there was very little time, and I've spend most of it on the L6 and Sherman Dozer (see dedicated thread). I failed to check the rebuilt plate for the M47, but I've took some additional shots of it. Let me know if you are working on it and would like a copy.

I've got more, too, if you need them.

- TrevorLarkum
- Kurt_LaughlinThe casting marks on the M47 turret (Pittsburgh Steel Foundry, Scullin Steel, CFM-Wheeling, and General Steel Castings, are the ones I recall.) indicate only the foundry that cast the turret, nothing else. The only tank producer that made any cast armor in the period 1940-1965 was Ford, whose GAD symbol can be seen on numerous small armor items on their M4A3s. (They also produced bogie brackets for other assemblers, but I don't believe these were armor steel.)

I wondered if that might be the case. I guess then that no correlation can be discerned between turrets and hulls (e.g. Pittsburgh turrets always went to Detroit, Scullin Steel turrets always went to American Locomotive)?
- DontosI went thru M47 Photos & noticed that the Shepardsville Ky M47 does have the 'rain gutters'

Do you have any general pictures of it that I could use?
I've got more, too, if you need them.
