Preowned, Original seal, Mint

The T-55 was a Soviet medium tank developed from the earlier T-54, entering production at Uralvagonzavod in 1958. It improved on the T-54 with a more powerful V-55 diesel engine, an improved 100mm main gun, a revolving turret floor, greater ammunition stowage, and later NBC protection, while remaining smaller and lighter than its NATO contemporaries. Together the T-54/55 series is the most-produced tank in history, with estimates approaching 100,000 built, exported to more than fifty countries and used in conflicts around the world from the Cold War through the Arab-Israeli wars and beyond.
