Unknow gun

[ROLAND1369]

Haven't been there since 1965. The room devoted to the Blue Division was most interesting. I had never heard of it before.

The correct nomenclature for the short barrelled gun should be M14 not M1914, my mistake.

Many years...Here is a tour of the museum as it was

Thanks that was the room as I remember it. At the time there was a Renault FT and a 76 MM M1931 Russian AA gun on the front outside area of the entrance. There was in the main room next to the Division Azul room a large scale model of the siege of Madrid during the Spanish Civil War which showed all the fortifications.

Yes, but was moved to Toledo years ago...

In the outside I remember a 75 mm Schneider Field Gun, and a Russian T-26 light tank too.
I don't if still are displayed in Toledo, maybe Sturm78 knows someething

Hi all,

I know it is a difficult question but... Can somebody identify the gun barrel trailer of this image ?

Belgian army tractors, so a 15cm Kanone barrel?

Could it be a barrel wagon of the 15.5 cm K. 416 (f) or K. 431 (b) ?? ( photo = Ebay )

[Sturm78]

Hi Nuyt,

I don´t think 15cm K16 so what gun you mean ?

Hi Jopaerya

Ummhhh. I think the barrel of my image is longer...

HI Jos, that could be the carriage - with a K16 barrel?

[jopaerya]

A other option could be the barrel-wagon of a 15.5 cm K. 425 (f) without the special wheels,
the location Leningrad would fit ?? viewtopic.php?f=70&t=122928&hilit=leningrad&start=45

Maybe the photo reverse contains useful info

or the fact that the shot according to the seller relates to 215.Inf.Div. around Leningrad. How was e.g. IV./Art.Rgt. 225 equipped in winter 1942/43?
