Probably the guns were only from 46 DAC and 47 DAC because all had wooden-spoke wheels with steel rim as described on the plate with a description of 120 K/78-31 in Suomen Tykistömuseo (Artillery Museum of Finland) in Hämeenlinna – for horse-towed. Can anyone present any photos of these guns in the Finnish service during the WW2 ?.
Hello, Stan.
Yes, I can. Please check photos No. 73164—73166 and 83925 at SA-Kuva. The best one is the last one:

Obsolete for German army but still good enough to do business with Finish army, when they need any weapon!
I have complete Polish manual of this model and gladly share with you guys.
