Turret ring?

This belongs to a friend of mine – it came out of a scrapyard many years ago. Does anyone have a clue what it is from? It is thought to be part of a turret assembly – no ideas as to what nationality!

Cheers

I was playing with a couple of them about three or four years ago and if I remember correctly they looked very much like the object in the photo. I think the early models of H2S used a circular mount but later models like the Mk. 4 used a square mount. I could be rather horribly wrong though.

What makes you say that Anne? A hunch or maybe a little more?

Elliott,

I posted a response to your question on WIX Forum and figured I’d do the same here. I can’t say for sure if the piece is part of a turret or not, but I can say that it is definately not part of a ball turret (I wish it was 🙁 ).
