Description:

FLAK GUN BARREL SEGMENT
An interesting World War II relic, a 1/2" thick section of the barrel of an 8.8cm anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun, commonly referred to as the "eighty-eight". The segment has been plated and polished, and mounted on a blued metal base. It is stamped "Eighty Eight" and "Battle of Germany", indicating that it was captured during the final Allied push towards Berlin, and was likely cut up for scrap and mounted as a souvenir postwar. The rifling of the barrel remains strong, a reminder of the effectiveness of these weapons. Shows slight oxidation within the rifling grooves, else very good.
