Just bought a 1917 Artillery which is in excellent mechanical condition with one exception: The rear toggle link has a peculiar scar pattern which, I suspect, could only have been produced under the following conditions:
1. The rear toggle link PIN was missing,
2. The rear toggle link had dropped down INTO the frame,
3. The gun was fired in that condition.
The scars on the link exactly match the inside of the frame.
Anyone ever see this kind of damage before?
Would appreciate your comments.
