Canadian sherman (grizzly)
I noticed on the front plate of my sherman a "G" cast in the center. After doing some research, this was used on Canadian manufactured shermans. Further research also showed the Canadian tank used a 13 tooth sprocket and not the 17 tooth sprocket used on the American shermans. The mato sherman is actually the Canadian Grizzly, "G" cast into the front plate and the 13 tooth sprocket. So all the Canadian tankers who own the Mato sherman really have their own unique Canadian version. Thought I'd just pass that along. Regards, JZ

I see. I wonder why Mato cast it the way they did. I think it would have been very cool if they had done an authentic grizzly. Regards, JZ

I believe that the G emboss wasn't just found on Canadian Grizzlies, but all Shermans who had their hulls cast at this factory.
