Re: German horse-drawn wagons
Hola Stabsveterinar,
this wagon is very interesting. I think the wagon on Your pics is the front vehicle of a field kitchen. The box on the wheels seems to be German, but the wheels are not German, because the wheels of German wagons of this time had 12 nuts and bolts, but here there are 14. And these wheels are wider than the German ones. Maybe the box was delivered from Germany and the wheels and also the footrest (here out of iron, the German out of wood) were made in Spain. Here a pic of this wagen (in German Vorderwagen) of a field kitchen of WW I (source of the pic: Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin = German Historic Museum Berlin).
Saludos
Bert
P.S.: If You are interested in more pics, please let me know.

Re: German horse-drawn wagons
Thanks, Bert. In fact, the wagon was purchased in France. It´s true that the wheels don not match with the standard german wheels. We´ll keep on searching in order to finish the restoration.

Hi Stabsveterinar,
here another and I think better pic of this field kitchen (with our chancellor Angela Merkel at the opening of an exhibition of WW I in Berlin).

Re: German horse-drawn wagons
Hi Stabsveterinar,
here two more pics of a German field kitchen, now with a view into the box with its six sections. (source of the first pic: "Gulaschkanonen - Feldküchen - Bäckereien" by Horst Hinrichsen, here You can see a field kitchen from the Reichswehr or Wehrmacht, its designation Heeresfahrzeug Hf. 11).
Regards
Bert

Re: German horse-drawn wagons
Yes, the interior distribution of the box is identical (in spite of the lack of two of the panels in our wagon). It seems definitely to be an Hf.11 with modified footrest and new wheels.
Or maybe an Hf.13, due that it´s entirely buit in metal, according to Kfz der Wehrmacht.
Thanks a lot!

Nobody for my last images ??
Well, here another image from EBay.
I think WW1-era equipment in a museum in 1930s. Can somebody identify the horse-drawn wagons??

Re: German horse-drawn wagons
Hi Sturm,
sorry for my late answer. But I have not always time for my hobby.
First pic (27 Febr): If. 4 Maschinengewehrwagen (leicht)
Second pic (28 Febr): Fernsprechbauwagen 13
Third pic: I´m not sure, but it could be a "schwere Funkenstation mit Kurbelmast" (heavy radio station with cranc antenna mast). But I couldn´t find the exact designation. Maybe it´s interesting for You: a videoclip of a mobile radio station from 1918:
