Hello karlik,
Do you have more detailed information on this Spanish antiaircraft gun? I see it for the first time. Did the Spaniards have such a gun already in 1919? Thanks in advance.
Hi!
Unfortunately, I know almost nothing about this gun.
That's all that I came across about her

Thanks karlik,
In the photo on your links, these guns have different barrels.
Look, in the second photo, there is a different barrel, as well as a longer one:
Skoda modelo 1919 de 76'5 mm-3.jpg
Maybe the second photo is a later model?
Who will have what ideas?
Regards
Andriy

Hi, VRIL7

Spain bought 16 guns Skoda M1919 L40 in early 1920s and these guns were used during the Spanish Civil War

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that this is an Austrian cannon "M18 8 cm middle pivot AA gun" (Mobile AA gun on trailer, introduced reuested, but no longer delivered)- from book of M. Christian Ortner "The AH Artillery from 1867 to 1918".

Thanks Karlik,
This means that if a longer barrel (L / 40) was used in Austria, then anti-aircraft guns with other shorter barrels, about 30 calibers, were sold to Spain.

Ummhhh... In the book "The Austro-Hungarian Artillery from 1867 to 1918" is talked about a projected 8cm M18 AA gun, but I think was only a design stage, not prototype neither serial production...In the book there are no any image of this design....

The image posted by karlik is the 7.65cm Skoda M1919 L40 gun as used by Spain

All right image of a AA-gun from another source, my assumption is that a number of 8-cm M18 cannons were fired either in Austria or already in Czechoslovakia, and then sold to Spain.

Hello everybody,
Who knows in what year pneumatic wheels began to be installed on Italian guns? Are these post-war modifications?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sturm,
Here's another 15 cm sIG 34:
15 cm sIG 34-2.jpg
The heavy 15cm infantry gun on a spread mount. It weighed 2,100 kilograms and could fire shells weighing 38 kilograms as far as 5000 meters.

Hi VRIL7

Thank you very much for the image and the information.... :wink:

Was this gun manufactiured in series in any quantity or remained only in prototype stage ?
Was a rival of 15cm sIG33 or an later developed model ?
