The item is a PaK 40 Anti-Tank Gun model, which is a buildable accessory designed for minifigures. This is a detailed, brick-built model of the German 7.5 cm PaK 40. It features a long barrel with a distinctive muzzle brake (the cone shape at the tip), an angled gun shield to protect the crew, and two large spoked wheels. The rear of the gun has split trails (two legs) that are spread out to stabilize the weapon during firing. The model is presented in a standard grey color, representing the early war German “Panzer Grey” or unpainted steel.
Background: The PaK 40 (short for Panzerabwehrkanone 40) was the backbone of the German anti-tank forces during the latter half of World War II. Introduced in 1942 to counter new, heavily armored Soviet tanks like the T-34 and KV-1, this 75mm cannon was powerful enough to defeat almost any Allied tank it encountered. It was towed by trucks or half-tracks and saw action on all fronts, from Russia to Normandy.
