75/81mm fibre tubes

Post by DesertRick » Mon Dec 19, 2022 8:44 am

I've joined a museum and they have quite a bit of WWII stuff on display/in storage and am trying to get it organized. One thing they have are a few cloverleaf ends. I'd like to get them displayed as a whole unit, but not sure if they want to go original condition or restored. Only thing lacking are the tubes. If they want to go original, I can get those. If they want to go restored, I was wondering if anyone here sells the tubes (don't need the endcaps!) or could suggest a cheap alternative? It's basically just for looks only, doesn't have to be real accurate but would like the sealing tape with it. Maybe they'll do 1 original, 1 "from factory".

Rick,
I 100% make and sell the tubes. The nicest WWII replica asphalt wrapped, 75mm Gun, 75mm Howitzer, and 81mm Mortar fiber tubes. Made to WWII factory blueprints. $35 each or 3/$100. With or without tapes, correctly stamped and stenciled end caps.
Thanks,

I'm interested in some 75mm tubes, how can I order them?
