Jos,

It is an Italian 305 mm howitzer from WW1: "Obice da 305/17".

See picture on top of page 10 of this thread :wink: :

uwe,

The gun looks to me like an ex-Italian Obice da 100/22 mod.14/19 :idea:

Hi Emmanuel

My understanding about the Obice da 100/22 mod.14/19 is they were all hand-me -downs from captured German stock. Edit Or those captured from the Greeks and Yugoslavians. The uniform the soldier is wearing is pre 1943 when the Germans took over the Italian arsenal.

I think it might be a Czech howitzer, 10 cm houfnice vz 14/19. It is not a Polish one because those in Polish service did not have the crew seats on the shield. I cannot recall seeing a Greek or Yugoslavian versions of this howitzer with wheels suitable for motor traction.

I think it is either a 10.4 cm M-15 Skoda or, most probably, the relined Italian 105/32 version, towed by a Pavesi tractor. :idea:
