French Hotchkiss 25mm Model 1934 Anti-Tank Gun with Carriage, Class III/NFA Destructive Device

Manufactured by the Hotchkiss arsenal in France in 1934, per the date marking on top of the breech. Offered here is a 25mm Hotchkiss Model 1934 anti-tank gun with carriage. These saw use with various countries including France, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, Romania and Spain, and in various conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War, Winter War, World War II and the Indochina War. While rapidly advancing tank armor throughout World War II limited their effectiveness, these 25mm Hotchkiss guns were still able to be effectively used against weak spots and in an anti-personnel role. Their portability was an advantage, as they could be towed behind light vehicles or in the back of a truck (the first type of artillery piece to be used in this manner), and could be quickly set up. The top of the breech has the "1934" date marking along with the Hotchkiss maker marking, caliber, and serial number. The tube measures approximately 75 inches overall, with a 71 inch inside bore length, with overall measurements including the carriage approximately 150 inches long by 43 inches wide by 47 inches tall.

ConditionFine overall, retains most of the military applied blue painted finish, with some scattered spots of flaking, some scattered freckling on the exposed metal areas, and handling marks. Mechanically fine. Scope is also very good with clear optics. NOTE: This Destructive Device is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
