Nice picture Sturm, no doubt a piece destroyed by its Dutch crew at Waalhaven Rotterdam!

Still not released for disclosure. Owner in Historical Collection Ground Air defence needs to check the origins. :|

I found these however in an ordenance survey of the 78 Batterij Luchtverdediging, deployed at the end of April/beginning of May 1940, around Kasteel Duivenvoorde South of Wassenaar / Airfield Valkenburg and Northeast of Airfield Ypenburg.

and some more in these reports:

text all in Dutch, but google translate is your friend

the one picture with caption: Kanon 7,5cm tegen luchtdoelen op het grondgebied van Duivenvoorde. © B.J.Dierink. is under investigation. I am in contact with the © owner and try to get back to the original photographer. From the background farms on the picture, I suspect it is a 7.5 tl no. 1 from 14e Batterij Luchtafweer. An alternative explanation could be there is some reference to a number of licence produced Vickers 7.5 tl no.1 by 'Artillerie Inrichtingen Hembrug' were also referred to as 7.5 tl no.2, because of other gun characteristics. I am afraid I cannot find back that source though.

But that does not correspond that 76, 77 and 78 Battery each had 4 Skoda 7.5 tl no.2's 12 on total.

Great info, never knew the Vickers Hembrug series had different gun characteristics, will look into that later (my books are in storage, so do not hold your breath). The Dutch produced Bofors 105mm guns also had different characteristics from those directly delivered by the Swedes, but these differences I believe were substantial (even in calibre).

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some help with Id to this thing:

Resized_20211221_171838.jpeg
I've acquired this with various polish army memorablies, but this one doesn't match to any polish equipment which I know. 7,65 cm suggest me if it can be used in Czechoslovakian guns captured by Germans. I hope to find somene who could tell me anything about this device.

Best regards,
Kamil
