Thank you, EPOCH3

Here, another image from Ebay. I know it is difficult from this angle, but...Can anyone identify the model ?
Perhaps an 320mm Mle 1870-93 ??

Hello,

Yes, it is a 320 modèle 70-93 on sliding mount.

In 1914, official name: 32 cm modèle 1870-93.
In 1939, official name: 320 modèle 70-93.

These guns were made mostly in 1899 and 1900 for use in coast batteries.
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.
