This is a great photo. Note the length of the casing in the left hand side of the photo. It seems that most, if not all, of the action shots of these guns were taken on the Eastern front.

When the Germans still had the time to make pictures the most of them were in the East.

Hi all,

Two images from Ebay. I think it is the same gun that my second image posted on 29 Sep 2010 on this thread.

Hallo Uwe!

Looks to me like a 21cm Morser 18/17 cm Kanone 18.

Best,

Nezar

I would say it's a 17 cm K18: there is a small piece/wheel sticking out on the left of the barrel which I've seen only on the 17 cm K18 and not on the 21 cm Mrs 18. :idea:
