Railway guns of the Axis forces
Hello partners, I like very much the railway artillery but in the net search I often find pictures without identification. Now I have a doubt abuot a french piece.
Let me explain: I know that the 320 mm mle 1870-84 gun have two short steps on the barrel front part, but I ´ve got a picture of a battery pieces identical to the 320 mm model named, but with a barrel having only one step. It means, the principal and long barrel, a cut and a middle large minor barrel only.
Is the last piece another 320 mm model or is a different caliber?
May be a 305 or 340 mm gun of another old model?

Thanks again Jopaerya, but my doubt still remain. Whit your council I discovered in another picture I have (too big for post here) that the piece is a 320 mm gun but
Please take a look to the pictures I post next, specially to the front part of the barrel piece and yuo will see the difference with the other french 320 nmm pieces. Would be am 1870 model. Please give me an answer.

Hi jopaerya, I think your photo correspond to an american coastal railgun and it sould be a naval 14 inch Mk IV gun. The same picture an several other you can find at the polish site -ioh.pl- searching in the word -forum- and then in -artyleria-. There yuo`l find 8 pages of artillery pieces photos, including another view of the piece you have posted
