M4 Sherman Prototype

Almost 50,000 Sherman tanks were produced. This is the second production M4A1 model and possibly the earliest surviving example. It was supplied to the UK.

 

Unlike later models the M4A1 had a cast rather than welded hull (which is identifiable by its rounded shape). This very early model also had two additional fixed forward machine guns operated by the driver and an unusual gun sight, probably the thing on the top right of the turret.
