Local American Legion (Boyertown, PA) recently acquired this thing of beauty. Photographed with a camera and film that is just a bit younger than the gun.

Early M109 variant w/ a weird barrel? Did some PL / XO time in an FSC for a Paladin Bn. Those were M109A6s though.

The 108, at one time division DS guns were 105mm. But putting a light gun like a 05, it a heavy chassis did not make any sense, so they went away.

No replacement for displacement. Newspaper article said this M108 came from Aberdeen, which is relatively nearby.
