Here is a link for Vickers 76 ItK 34V:

As I understand it this is basically the same gun, but chambered for 76,2mm x 505 R calibre.

Elevation 90 degrees, max ceiling 10,000m. The practical ceiling would of course have been a small fraction of this.

It fired a 6.5 kg shell, with quoted muzzle velocities in the range 750-850 m/s.

It was first produced in the 1920s, and sold to Holland, Belgium, Lithuania, China, Portugal and Turkey. Denmark licence-built it as the M.32, elsewhere M.31 was a common designation. The Dutch guns were known as M35. Germany continued using the Dutch and Danish guns.

It was never used by Britain.
