WWII GERMAN ARMY ARTILLERY PIECE -
This is a Sig 33 artillery canon. The 15 cm sIG 33 (schweres Infanterie Geschütz 33) was the standard German heavy infantry gun
used in the Second World War. It was the largest weapon ever classified as an infantry gun by any nation.
The sIG 33 was rather heavy for its mission and it was redesigned in the late 1930s to incorporate light alloys in an effort to save
weight. This saved about 150 kilograms (330 lb), but the outbreak of war forced the return to the original design before more than a
few hundred were made, as the Luftwaffe had a higher priority for light alloys. A new carriage, made entirely of light alloys, was
tested around 1939, but was not accepted for service.

German items that were used at the front during WWII have become collectibles. The item featured
