Hello,

The photograph (post number 446) is a 285 mm modèle 1917 (former 274 mm modèle 1893-96).

-in 1916: 6 guns of 274 mm modèle 1893-96 on sliding mounts are built.

-in 1917: 2 worn-out guns rebored to 285 mm modèle 1917, 2 worn-out guns replaced by 2 guns 274 mm modèle 1887 and the 2 others worn-out guns replaced by 2 guns 274 mm modèle 1893.

-In 1918: 1 gun modèle 1893 totally scuttled the 27th may 1918 by his crew on Chemin des Dames (german attack).

-in 1940: 5 guns existed: 2/285 mm modèle 1917, 2/274 mm modèle 1887, 1/274 mm modèle 1893.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.

Thank you very much for your help, Guy François.

Is possible differentiate between 285 and 274mm models?

Hello,

I think that the photographs are:

-1: a 340/240 mm LP on "affût à glissement Schneider", the building seems the shed of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon proving ground ("Champ de Tir en mer de l'ALVF" for firing from 10.000 m to 127.000 m range along Britanny coast).

-2: a 320 mm breech.

-3: a 280 mm SKL/40"Bruno" of ex-imperial german Army, ex-belgian Army and "new" Wehrmacht "kurze Bruno Beute".
The Bruno and kurze Bruno are strictly the same guns, except for the armored rear firing platform for the Great War Brunos.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.
