Ummhhh. It is possible that you are right, although the pedestal is different.

Any ideas for my previous images?

Hi all,

According to photocaption, 38cm guns in Helgoland but I think 30.5cm SK L50. Can anybody confirm this?

Nobody for my last images??

Hi Sturm78

There was never ever any gun of the size 38cm at Helgoland. Not during WWI and also not during WWII.

The text at this old picture is just wrong. You are right, it is the 30,5cm SK L/50. During WWI there had been four twin towers with this kind of naval guns at Helgoland. So all together 8 of them and they had been the biggest ones there.

Source and a very recommendable book with nice picture of the Fortification Helgoland in WWI :

Sturm78,

The length of the barrel seems to indicate a 6 in. gun.

Hello,

thats indeed a british 6 Inch gun or 6in Mk VII Field Gun from Vickers.

In Finland this gun was used in WWII and known as 152/46 E. You can for example still see one of them in Hanko/Finland near the old frontline from 1941.

Hi Sturm,

I found a postal card showing the same gun with the same pedestal as you posted earlier but with a shield. I know think that it could be a 152 mm L/45 Canet gun in a high mounting for coastal defense and not a 120 mm Canet.

Thank you for your replies, Saska and Emmanuel.

About my image of 14 Feb 2011, I am not sure. There are some differences between the gun of my image and the image of the link.

Sturm78,

This is a French coastal gun successfully called (Source: post from Guy François on a French forum) “canon de 164,7 mm Mle 1893” until 1894, then “canon de 16 cm Mle 1893” and finally “canon de 164 mm Mle 1893” starting in 1923.

Hello Sturm78,
Thanks for uploading these interesting photos !
Your gun is a :
15 cm L 50 K10 Skoda Kasemattgeschütz from the old
Austrian batterleships Virbus Unitis - class .

Hope this link works , if not typed images from Google on " Kasemattgeschütz "
Some guns were used by Austrian coast artillery , captured guns were used by Italy
as coast artillery .
