Hi all,

I found this image on Ebay.
37mm Mle 1934 or 47mm Mle 1934 gun??

Thanks in advance. Sturm78

Due to the shape of the armor over the sighting hood I would say a 37 MM m1934.

Hi all,

Sturm78,

It looks to me like one of the prototypes of 25 mm AT guns, most probably from Hotchkiss since it seems to incorporate the barrel of the 25 mm Hotchkiss AA gun, possibly in order to achieve a higher rate of fire through semi-automatic or automatic mode.

There was an article on the history of the « 25 mm SA Mle 1934 » in GBM magazine No. 97 (July 2011 – by F. Vauvilliers & E. Denis). Unfortunately, I don’t have a copy of this article but it probably provides the answer to your question.

Hi all,

I found this image on http://www.militariarg.com

It this link, it is identified as a 220mm Schneider M1928 L10,8 howitzer, that perhaps could be bought for Argentina.
It seems a 220mm Schneider Mle 1916 howitzer with a muzzle break and some changes in the rear anchor system.

Any information about this model??

Thanks in advance. Sturm78

There are some information on this gun here:

Hopefully, Guy François (ALVF) could confirm or correct this information.

Serbia has purchased eight similar howitzers in 1910th year. Delivered late 1912th year.

Thank you for your help, Emmanuel and ltcolonel.

It would be interesting to create a list of the different models of Schneider guns and howitzers of the early twentieth century (1900-1914) and the purchasing countries.

Hi all,

Can somebody identify this Maginot Line bunker gun? I know it is a difficult question but......

Possibly a 47 mm Mle 1934. It does not look quite the same as the previous picture that showed a 37 mm Mle 34.
