Entpannungspanzer 65 (M-0870) – Panzermuseum, Thun (Switzerland)

Prototype built using the Pz 61's chassis. Series production vehicles used the Pz 68's chassis

2 Pz 58 prototypes were built in 1957, both using 20 pdr guns, they were followed by 10 pre series tanks, that remained in service up to 1964. 150 Pz 61 tanks were built between 1964 and 1967. During their service life they were upgraded various time and remained in service from 1964 to 1994.

I'm looking for photos of those tanks:

Pz 61 (M-77522) - Mettmenstetten (Switzerland) Pz 61 (M-77529) - Vernayaz (Switzerland) Pz 61 (M-77531) - Oberscherli (Switzerland) Pz 61 (M-77539) - Armeemuseum, Burgdorf (Switzerland) Pz 61 (M-77605) - Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung, Koblenz (Germany) Pz 61 (M-77628) - Studen (Switzerland) Any Pz 58 or Pz 61 tank that I forgot...
