Hi Sturm,

Post 374 certainly could be a 42cm Gamma Morser, I have seen a similar picture previously, the book with the picture is at present buried under piles of other stuff I think and doing its best not to be found, the only problem I have is that the only shell visible looks more 24cm-25cm in size.

Hello,

I think it is a russian 11 inch coast mortar 1877 withdrawn from the the coast batteries and used on the front or in a inland russian fortress.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.

Sturm78,

It looks to me like a British 12 in. Mk V railway howitzer (in foreground below):

Hello Sturm 78 ,
Concerning your post # 388 from 22 Aug 2014 shows some of
the Norwegian 10,5 cm mobil postionskanon L/28 M/1904 system
Cockerill - Nordenfelt . 18 x guns delivered around 1904 for the mobile
position battalion fighting from prepared battery positons around Oslo .
Later the guns were seized bt the Germans as 10,5 cm K. 337 ( n )
3 x guns still intact in Norway .
