WWI 75mm sold for a "mere" $30,000!

Someone directed me to a website that had for sale a WWI 75mm British-type cannon. It was the same type that was in use on Bataan, although some had rubber tires. Some excellent closeup pictures. Apparently, this was sold to the Finns sometime between WWI and WWII.

Some sample pictures (they show a lot of detail!)
 










It is similar to the ones seen in the background in this picture I have posted before:



Here's the link - it sold some time ago for $30,000.

Believe it or not there are some deep pocketed collectors that snap those up. I can tell you right now, I'm not one of them haha.
