Two photos: Weapons ID?
Two photos: Weapons ID?
From e-bay, described as being taken "in the 1930s." Can anybody provide a positive ID of the artillery pieces and the LMG being used? And -- is that top photo's soldier's helmet an early Russian, Swiss, or what? Any help appreciated...

Re: Two photos: Weapons ID?
I found another version of the top photo, with an attached caption identifying the weapon as the Neuhausen KE7 LMG. I never saw a picture of the gun with a mag loaded before.... Anybody have thoughts re the artillery?

75mm L13 infantry howitzers made by the Dutch firm H.I.H. Siderius.

Thank you, Edward Chen! The image on the link page looks as if it could be the same gun and crew, photographed just a few moments apart!

The HMG is a Browning. I don't know about the mortars, but maybe they are 81mm or 82mm.

Thank you WestSand,
Nobody for mortars??

Probably local copies of the Brandt 81mm Mle. 1927/31. The baseplates are unusual in that they have a bent profile (probably to help the weapon dig in better when fired). The MG may be a local unauthorized copy of the Colt commercial "M-1919" Browning water cooled HMG-see my doc. on Chinese armaments.

Hi all,
Can somebody identify this chinese coastal gun?
According to photocaption the image was taken in Shanghai.
It will be well received any information about Chinese coastal defenses in the 20s and 30s

Re: Two photos: Weapons ID?
Look at Peter H's photo and my posts here on Shanghai 1932 thread, maybe they can give some ideas:

Re: Two photos: Weapons ID?
These two guns seem to have Schneider-Creusot breech rings and interupted screw breech blocks with the typical Schneider breech block lever over the top of the block carrier.
Re: Two photos: Weapons ID?
Thanks, but what do you mean by saying "these two guns"? Do you mean the guns in Shanghai or the Japanese(?) gun in the museum?
In fact, the two museum photos are of the same gun.
Here I reduce the size of the photos and post them so you don't need to go to my album.
