Description
You are bidding on a SUPERB used example of a WW2 Soviet Red Army Steel Track Link, as ONLY used on the T-34 Tank and its variants! This includes the BT-7, A-20, Su-85, Su-100, Su-122 and others! Though I do not have any specific history, it was originally found in the area of the Kurland Pocket.
The T-34 is a Soviet medium tank from World War II. When introduced, its 76.2 mm (3 in) tank gun was more powerful than many of its contemporaries, and its 60-degree sloped armour provided good protection against anti-tank weapons. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front, and had a long-lasting impact on tank design. The tank was praised by multiple German generals when encountered during Operation Barbarossa, although its armour and armament were surpassed later in the war. Its main strength was its cost and production time, meaning that German panzer forces would often fight against Soviet tank forces several times their own size. The T-34 was also a critical part of the mechanized divisions that formed the backbone of the deep battle strategy.
Made of solid steel, this 550mm Panther Tank Track Link is in NICE relic condition! Developed in 1940, it does have some pitting and corrosion, but is still VERY solid (probably usable). No damage, breaks, or bends, and the manufacture stamp is clear on the reverse. It is approx. 21″ long and should look AMAZING once cleaned! Weighing approx. 30 lbs., it would make a PERFECT item for any collection or display!
