seems to present various main models with only the 105 L mdle 1913
the model Dili is searching seems to be the more specific former Navy's 100mm modle 1897 of coast réalésé (reamed in english?) after wear into 105mm in 1917, passing from Naval batteries of coast to Frontline and Army Heavy Artillery batteries
maximum range until 15 800m
weight 6000 kg
one shot by minute
according to Guy François Les Canons de la Victoire 1914-1918 - Tome 1 l'Artillerie de Campagne H&C (2006)

This extract from a lithographed book published by a French artillery school of the 1920s provides brief descriptions of both the original (100mm) piece and the modified (105mm) version.
