Thanks for the link, karlik

It seems that only were manufactured 8 howitzers of M1923 model
In this link also is talked of an Bofors M1917 licence-built howitzer in Denmark in number of... 4. 8O

Any aditional information and/or images will be welcome

One of the eighteen 130-millimeter (5.1 in) B7 Pattern 1913 55-calibre guns originating from Imperator Aleksandr III of the Imperatritsa Mariya-class.
Guns seized by the Germans in April 1940 onboard the Finnish steamer Nina underway from France to Petsamo, Picture most probably taken at MAB Nordfjord (Rugsundoey). All captured 13 cm guns used as Coast Artillery in Norway, but the four 30,5 cm guns also captured on the same ship were taken to Germany and first was allocated for the Felix operation, later put up on Guernsey and became Batterie Mirus.
