Could this be a Russian 122 cm howitser in Finnish service under command of the 6 Waffen SS Gebirgs-Division Nord ??

Photo = Ebay .

Not aware of any Italian 76/70 gun, neither the 100/65. Probably fictional.

I'm a bit unsure about the howitzer being manned by Finns, but led by a German.
Can't remember of any such mixed units at the moment.

Any ideas about these two guns?

The first one would be in Bulgarian service according to its ebay caption:

The 2nd one makes me think of a 15 cm sFH25(t) but the shield looks different. This German propaganda picture shows DAK soldiers. Note the "149" marking on the shell on the right of the picture.

Thanks Sturm 78. It could be the m04/12: according to http://www.landships.freeservers.com/Ge ... kanone.htm
"the m04/12 was equipped with a special shield"

Here is an intriguing picture (from ebay.de and dated July 1942) of a pair of AA guns that look to me like Russian 37 mm M39/ 3,7 cm Flak M39(r) but with the optical sights of German 2 cm or 3,7 cm Flak. What do you think?

I don't know if these guns are installed on a Russian or German armored train. Maybe someone will be able to decipher the German writing on the back of the picture.

Hi Emmanuel

A other option for the two railway flak could be the 25 mm 72-k ,
the longer and smaller barrel and the arms for the optical sights ??

So it would be the same as this one then:
viewtopic.php?f=79&t=162843

Is the designation 25 mm 72-k and M1940 applicable to the same gun?
