Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication:
This Ausf A was recently acquired from the Saumur Museum in exchange for a SdKfz 251 Ausf D half-track (source: R. Fleming). It is little more than a rusted hulk. It is missing its turret, engine and large parts of its superstructure and suspension. It is believed that it was the one recovered by the Saumur Museum from a pond at Parroy, near Lunéville, in an operation involving military divers and several recovery vehicles. [Preserved Tanks in France: Number 175].

Text in original Preserved Tanks In France publication:
This Panther was transferred from Saumur (q.v.) to M. Leloup’s collection (source: R. Fleming).
It was previously stored on waste ground at Saumur in very poor condition, little more than a hulk. It remains disassembled, and a mantlet for it can be seen on the ground in front of it.
