This page is designed for the hard-core Sherman fan. There are some detail shots and the files are quite large. If you are using a dial-up connection, sit back, grab a cold beverage of your choice and wait. It will be worth it.
This is a Ford built M4A3 with serial number 12236. This dates the tank as being built in May, 1943. The original USA Registration Number of 3054391 is still painted on the tank.
Joe DeMarco states:
I suspect this tank's original turret would have been cast a month or two
earlier, but the May 43 date gives an idea what was done when the
"eliminate pistol port" order came, but before the replacement castings
were available - weld it up.
