There is a Schneider in the garden of old Turkish National parliament. At 66 years of age I became an artillarist for our friends in Axis forum.
Iam not an expert but this gun have gummi-covered wheels.This must be a post WW1 gun. The WW1 guns had iron wheels. Am I right?

HEY, THAT'S A GREAT FIND! :D :D :D

This Schneider howitzer looks as the same model as Argentianian type M.28 Schneider 105mm L/17.8! :D
(with older/original type of wheels :roll: )

My dear Nuyt,

I am not Tosun Pasha, I am a lietunant. But I would like you to introduce real Tosun Pasha: A very famous film figure, a comic from the late Ottoman Period: The Governor of Alexandria, Egypt :D :D :D For further information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253828/

(Really hate newspaper photos! :x
In general, of course :wink: )

1945 Artillary3.jpg – that Rheinmetall L/30 piece

1945 Artillary2.jpg – US supplied – either original Schneider C17S or US-made M.1918 M1

1945 Artillary4.jpg – US supplied - 105mm light howitzer M2

(1945... hmmm... realy not an interwar material. :roll: However, very, very interesting! :) )
