Re: french railway gun
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 ??

Re: french railway gun
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.

Re: french railway gun
As discussed previously in this thread, the "Breslau" marking appeared on different railway guns:

Re: french railway gun
This is not a true railway gun but a tracked self propelled 194 MM french weapon being transported on a railway car. It could not be fired from this car.
