Tank Commanders Panel? What service branch/vehicle did this belong in?

[bigcaddy64]

I’ve always been told that when you see something unique, the time to buy it is right then!

This morning I found myself in that particular situation with ended up with me bringing home a General Dynamics Tank Commanders Panel.

At first I thought it was from an Abrams or smaller piece of armor but now I don’t think that’s the case. I saw “sponson” on the panel and that seems to indicate Navy.

Does anybody know anything about these items? They aren’t WWII old but maybe Vietnam or Desert Storm?

Manufacture date on it is 7/92, so not Vietnam.

General Dynamics Land Systems, out of an M1 Abrams.

Quick Google search of the contract number: DAAE07-91-C-A037

Does anybody have a worthpoint subscription? I searched the part number and a few popped up there but the price is only visible to members.

OK then, need to go out and find the rest of the parts. You could be the envy of your neighbors.

I do, but I don't find any hits with those part numbers. I did find these, the one resembling yours sold for $51, the other driver panel $100.... https://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?query=tank+panel+m1
