“This beautiful Anti Tank Rifle was designed and manufactured in Great Britain for the British and Commonwealth Armies. It is the most powerful rifle ever issued to any modern army. It was the infantry Anti Tank weapon of the British Forces in France and at Dunkirk helped to stave off the attack in the Germ Panzer forces, to permit the evacuation of the allied forces.
