Original German WWII Trench Art PaK40 Anti-Tank Gun with Breech Made from British .303 Casing - Inert

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. The 7.5 cm Pak 40 (7,5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 40) was a German 75 millimetre anti-tank gun of the Second World War. The gun was developed in 1939–1941 and entered service in 1942. With 23,303 examples produced, the Pak 40 formed the backbone of German anti-tank guns for the later part of World War II, mostly in towed form, but also on a number of self propelled artillery such as the Marder series of Panzerjäger.

This is an adorable trench art rendition of a German PaK40 anti-tank gun, made from brass pieces of artillery shells and casing, almost certainly by a German soldier during the war. The most interesting piece of this anti-tank gun is that the breech is made from a British .303 Casing. The barrel sticking out of the casing is loose and will come off with pressure, but it can be reinserted easily. 

The trench art is very crude and measures roughly 8 x 3 ⅝ x 3”.
