Unknow gun

[Manuferey]

It's a 120 mm Schneider-Canet (L/40) but I do not know the model year.

See link below for details of their use in Norway under "Artillery" and another photo:

"Originally mounted at Fredriksten fortress, but had to be removed in 1906. Re-mounted at Høytorp and Trøgstad forts in 1915. [...] The guns were moved by the Wehrmacht in 1942-43 and re-mounted on forts on the Norwegian west coast.

Hi all,

Another piece of artillery to identify. Someone can help me?

Greetings.

Sturm78,

I think that it's the Polish wz78/09/31 120mm Heavy Field Gun. It was an hybrid of the chassis from former Soviet 155mm made Schnieder howitzers, and a rechambered 120mm De-Bange barrel. They tried out various types of wheel configuration. Captured examples were later sold by the Germans to the Finns.

Here are a couple of photos to back up my guess;







Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Steve.

Thank you, Steve.

This gun is indeed better known with other types of pneumatic tires (or "tyres" for our British friends). See here:

Hi Joaperya,

Your speed is incredible . Thank you very much for your help.
I think this other photo (from Ebay) is also a 164.7mm Mle 1983/1896, but the railway version. What is your opinion?
First photo.

Have anyone any idea about the gun barrel transported by rail of the second photo? (Ebay)

Hi all again,

I need your help to identify this gun. According to photocaption the image was taken in Holland and I suppose that it is a captured gun.
