Re: Help Id artillery
Markus,
if its "barrel out of battery" - then should not the barrel on the other side in the rear end position?
i think the barrel is in front-end-position.
maybe its an le.F.H. 18 (r) - barrel of le. F.H. 18 mounted in carriage of 12,2 cm s.f.H. 396 (r)
i think the black part of the tube is a sleeve as pipe diameter reducer
starts in end 1944 barrels of german guns were mounted in "Beutelafetten"

Re: Help Id artillery
Not necessarily since the barrel, although out-of-battery, doesn't appear to be in the full recoil position. IMO the photo perspective and maybe a slight traverse to the left make the breech overhang appear small.schwarzermai wrote:if its "barrel out of battery" - then should not the barrel on the other side in the rear end position?
The large diameter barrel shroud should be further forward in battery; see below (maybe ca. 30...40 cm based on the M1 carbine on the left in the original picture).schwarzermai wrote:i think the barrel is in front-end-position.

Re: Help Id artillery
markus, hello.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukSG8lUcajU
at 1,24 you can see this gun in firing position. the protection Sleeve didnt change the position (but on the photo did it) , at the photo we can see the protection sleeve reduced and a additional black sleeve in which the tube was inserted.
(sorry my english is not so good, hope i found the right words.)

Re: Help Id artillery
All this technical artillery speak is confusing me, could we not just agree that the gun is broken and therefore looks odd ?

Re: Help Id artillery

some units of Volks-Artillerie-Korps had le.F.H.18 (r) - but i never saw a photo of this variant yet

Re: Help Id artillery
Didn't know the protective sleeve was normally stationary. In that case I tend to agree with Alan that
Markus
Maybe the former management removed the recoil system's drain plug before last shot and thus dislodged the protective sleeve and damaged the recuperator. Couldn't find a pic of a healthy M-30 from the same perspective but IMO the Bulgarian gun in the following link is pretty close and shows that the breech should be further forward in battery: http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/row/m-30.htmAlanmccoubrey wrote:the gun is broken and therefore looks odd

The sleeve did recoil with the barrel. The animation does not seem to be correct. There a quite a few views later in the video that show the sleeve recoiling.
From http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3X65w6crSM You can see the barrel, between the recuperator and the cradle, the sleeve has recoiled with the barrel.
The dark area (using my gun fitter head) is where the last crew did not paint the bit of barrel hidden by the support connecting the cradle and the recuperator.
I think this is a standard 122mm How M30, I might be wrong. I have never heard of a 10.5 cm leFH (r) and would like to know more.

Re: Help Id artillery
If the barrels for the hybrids were from the le.F.H. 18/40 wouldn't they have muzzle brakes?

Markus
The 122mm M30 carriage and recoil system might be good enough to take the recoil shock of a 10.5 cm le FH 18/40 without the help of a muzzel brake. If these barrels were the stock of spare barrels for the 10.5 cm le FH 18/40 in service I suspect they would have the screw thread to take the muzzle brake machined on to the barrel, the gun in the photo does not.

Re: Help Id artillery
Any idea about this? French mortar?
Re: Help Id artillery
Sturm 78, I think they are leFH 16 10,5 cm, not FK.
Re: Help Id artillery
This pre-war footage shows the old general Mackensen visiting the Krupp factory:
http://footage.framepool.com/en/shot/82 ... e-howitzer
Two different guns can be seen. I have not been able to ID them yet. Any idea?
They look bigger than the 7,5 cm FK38 and show some similarities in the recoil tubes with the 10,5 cm leFH18 for gun # 1 and with the s.10 cm K18 for gun # 2. We can also see on the first gun, some vertical shock absorbers sticking above the shield.
