85mm D44MN Divisional Gun

This D44MN is a museum showpiece. Total cosmetic restoration, including a detailed, but totally fake breach. The cannon is a Polish-made, late-production D44MN series. The M denotes modernized, which is primarily an electrical light system for peacetime road movement. The N denotes the modifications for the night vision system. To our knowledge, this variant was produced solely in Poland for Russia and the other Soviet Bloc countries.
Back in the day, this cannon received considerable publicity as a threat to NATO armored formations.   
The most prominent and distinctive feature is the spotlight mounted atop the breach. The mount is part of the breach forging and precision-machined so that the spotlight is aligned with the barrel. The night vision system is state-of-the-art 1960s/70's technology! 
The set-up consists of an electrical system to operate the large infra-red spotlight mounted above the barrel and the night-vision direct-fire anti-tank sight, which is mounted parallel to the daytime gunsight. These sights are in addition to the normal indirect fire control.  From the gunner's position, there is a lot of complicated-looking gadgetry unique to a cannon. ​
The night vision system is new in the original boxes. While new, we have not tested the components and cannot guarantee that the system will work.  ​​
Unique opportunity to own a rare gun. ​
We suggest a climate-controlled display environment for this one.
