Thank you for the matching, Czarek.

And I did not realized that Swinemünde is now in Poland and is named Świnoujście.

Hi all,

I think probably an 10.5cm Flak M1917 (orfest):

Sturm78,

No, it's a 8,8 cm K-Flak. Note in particular the stepped barrel with no tapper and the lug visible underneath the barrel.

We discussed the differences between the 8,8 cm K-Flak and the 10,5 cm Flak 1917 (Ortfest) in this dedicated thread: :wink:

Thank you, Emmanuel....and sorry for delay... :oops:

However, I do not understand the reason for modernizing the mobile 8.8cm K-Flak gun with the mount of the Flak 18 gun.
It would have been more logical to modernize the static 10.5cm Flak 1917 (Ortfest) with the intention of doing mobile.... :?

Neither, it's a 8.35 cm Flak 22(t). You can compare with the 2nd picture you posted on the following thread on 15 April 2015. :wink:
