Original Item. Only One Available. The 8.8 cm Flak 18/36/37/41 is a German 88 mm anti-aircraft and anti-tank artillery gun, developed in the 1930s. It was widely used by Germany throughout World War II and is one of the most recognized German weapons of the conflict. The gun was universally known as the Acht-acht ("eight-eight") by the Germans and the "eighty-eight" by the Allies. Due to its lethality, especially as a tank killer, the eighty-eight was greatly feared by Allied soldiers.

This is a great and unique artifact, a small section of an 8.8cm Flak 37 barrel cut off of an example that was certainly found on a battlefield. The section still retains its rifling, which appears to be 20-groove. The section of barrel itself measures 1 ⅞” long, and is roughly 2 ¾” in diameter. The base has a small plaque reading WW2 GERMAN FLAK 37 CUT BARREL. The base measures 3 x 3 ⅛”.

This is a very lovely fragment of a very famous piece of German ordnance. Comes ready for display.
