Unknow gun

2 unknow japanese guns

[tom!]

Hi.

The upper gun is an experimental 105 mm gun which was developed in the late 1930th to replace the type 92 10 cm cannon. It was not introduced. The results were used to built the type 5 105 mm tank gun which was finished in late 1944.

The lower gun is the type 99 88 mm aa-gun. It was designed in the late 1930th from a german naval gun (8.8cm/45 SK C/30) captured in China. Around 750 were built and used on the japanese islands only. In 1945 it was planned to develop a 88 mm tank gun from this weapon for the type 5 tank Chi-Ri.

Yours

tom!

Hi all,

Nobody can help me with the gun behind Horch mPKW?

I found these two photos on Ebay. I think that photos show a mountain gun being transported dismantled. I think it's the same weapon as that of my photos posted here on 26 May 2009. I think perhaps 7.5cm Skoda M15. Can anyone confirm this?

It looks to me to be an ex norwegian 75 MM m1916 aa gun.

My error the recoil cylinder is in the wrong position.

Hello Sturm78,
* thank you for a good photo + uploading !!!
* found a drawing of the AA gun on truck which is named :
Maffei RK - Schlepper mit 7,5 - Flak ( Kw . G. 14 )
The gun is one of the early German AA - guns from WW One .
* the photo caption may say : unser Flak in Gründevalde ????

Hello

In the book Deutsche Flak-Panzer bis 1945 from Spielberger this gun is called a 7.7 cm gun .

Thanks for your answers, Ludvig and Jopaerya.

Therefore, Krupp 7.7cm Bak L/27, no?

Hello Sturm78,
* my first answer was in a hurry , so Jos is correct !
* best source :
Delsert , Dubois and Kowal : La Flak 1914 - 1918
* The same gun on a truck has the caption ( page 55 ) :

7,7 cm Kraftwagenflak L/27 , 1913 .

Isn'it the Krupp M.1914 instead of the Rheinmetall L/27 (picture at the bottom of the page here: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... start=3150 ?

Hi all,

I found this image on Ebay. Can anyone identify the gun?
I have no idea of the country of origin of this weapon so it may be that this is not the appropriate section but...

Thanks in advance. Regards Sturm78

[Manuferey]

It is a 240 mm Long Mle 84/17 St Chamond.

Here is another picture from ebay showing (I think) the same gun and casemate in 1940 in France:

Thanks for your help, Manuferey.
I had never seen a front view of this gun and that has me confused.
