I think this one is fairly unique in that it was sold with a little diorama in the box. It has a plastic base to stand on which represents the gun emplacement with a pair of soldiers and has some shells on a sprue moulded into the same unit. The gun is of course designed to be towed behind the military Jeep (38e) with which it was sold in a twin pack in 1978.
The Field gun was added to the 1-75 range in 1977 and remained in it up to 1981.It is in either military drab or olive green. The wheels are usually plain black, but it is known with foil printing on the hubs. In terms of the ones to look out for, you need to see the whole set for there to be any value, i.e. the gun, the diorama and the box, even then prices are low. If you have all that then you should look out for the ones with silver hubs as they are hardest to find.
