Historical Information

The 17/25-pdr Pheasant was a British anti-tank gun, a hybrid design developed in 1943 in response to the appearance of German Tiger tanks. The British temporarily mounted the long-barreled 17-pounder on a modified 25-pounder carriage to expedite the delivery of an effective anti-tank weapon to the front lines. The "Pheasant" was intensively used during the North African and Italian campaigns, providing Allied crews with invaluable support in battles against enemy armored units.
