[edit] More Details

This picture is of a German anti-tank gun from the Second World War. The taken at the Aberdeen proving grounds before 1975.

Only a very small number of these guns were made hence pictures of this gun are extremely rare.

This picture may have been taken by Ian V. Hogg for his book "German Artillery Of World War Two". The image is at least 32 years old.

The book referenced above is out of print. The book contains two copyright references Ian V Hogg (1975) and Lionel Leventhal Ltd (1975). I V Hogg is deceased. Lionel Leventhal Ltd has ceased trading.

The only other reference is Arms & Armour Press who have also ceased trading.

I have been unable to locate a Public Domain or free instance of a photo of this gun.

The only reason for the picture is to show this gun and the only use on Wikipedia of this image is on a page about the weapon in question.

The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of this weapon, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright

The publication that it was taken from does not show any copyright information for any of the pictures in it.

I believe the description above now conforms to WP:NFCC#10c
