I got it now, its an upgrade, Post War, we see it like you said, M7B2, as used in the Korean War,  has its cannon raised higher than the WWII one. I was thinking it was either a one of a kind modification, or a specific BW modification.     Service in Korea While the original M7 and M7B1 models were heavily utilized in WWII, their howitzers initially lacked the necessary range and elevation to counter the steep, rugged geography of the Korean peninsula. To solve this, existing M7 variants were rapidly converted into the M7B2 configuration to provide vital mobile indirect fire support for advancing United Nations and US ground force.

These are a recent acquisition, I've seen tags on other Japanese equipment similar to this. Would someone be able to decipher the tag on the bino strap? The one on the case is completely washed out. Thank you!   Tom  

Yes it´s a M7 B2 Priest which had an additional armor plate at the front. Great photo!

Nice field award grouping.  Congratulations.   

Nice display.  Also nice to see something a little different.

Hi all,   Looking for opinions on this one. Its a post war medal but i want a filler. If this is a Souval made one i dont have problem whit it i,m not 100% sure. The front has the same features as the Souval made ones, but the back is making me doubt, pin and hardware falling in the souval range but the grainy finish on the back is i think not good. Good be made ny Souval in the 70/80ties or 10 years ago in China or eastern europe?   Thank you
