Historical Information

The 88mm KwK 36 L/56 gun was the primary armament of the Tiger I tank, introduced into service by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Tanks equipped with this barrel took part in battles on both the Eastern and Western fronts from 1942 until the end of the war, earning a reputation as some of the most formidable armored vehicles of their era. The Tiger I made extensive use of its powerful gun at, among other places, Kursk and Normandy. The Aber set barrel recreates the characteristic look of this weapon from the early production period.
