No idea as such here, I will look through a few books I am presently clearing a path to and see if anything is in them, but I dont recall seeing anything similar.

Hi all,

I am not sure: 24cm or 35cm Albrecht Minenwerfer

What is just as interesting as the minenwerfer is the stack of Lochmann wire entanglements.

Hello,

The 5th april photographs:

-1: it is the 35,5 cm SKL/52,5 "König August" on Eisenbettung at Santes (Nord), in the foreground is the Bettungsschiessgerüst semi-circular platform used in 1916 firing of a 38 cm SKL/45.
The mounting or dismounting of the 35,5 cm SKL/52,5 gun date the photograph in july (mounting) or september (dismounting) of year 1917.

-2: it is the mounting of a 38 cm SKL/45 in Bettungsschiessgerüst.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.

Looks like a 75mm Krupp export gun. I don't know much about uniforms but could the guys be Swiss?
If so, then it's a Model 1902 gun - note the flat shield, most of the export guns had curved top to the
shield.

Thanks Charlie and Emmanuel. I think you are right...but I think the Swiss Krupp gun is M1903 model, is it not??

On the other hand, can anyone identify this gun barrel trailer ??

Model years don't make a lot of sense with Krupp export guns. Each order seems to have been treated as a separate production run and
there are lots of small differences between different orders. It seems to have taken Krupp anything up to 2 years to fulfil an order so
I think you have a choice between quoting the order date or the acceptance date.

The subject of the 75mm Krupp export guns is very complicated. Not only are there many different orders but the guns were extensively modified, often more than once during their long service lives. The 75mm gun even saw service in the late 1940s and the Korean War - in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948 with 100+ ex-Swiss 1920s modified 75mms in Israeli service and with the PLA using ex-Japanese Type 38 Kai guns.
