Ithink we see from left to right the barrel on transport and the Oberlafette of the Skoda 21 cm Kanonen 39 and in the foreground a 10,5 cm Feldhaubitze 43.
This model is thought to b e the Skoda desing by Chamberlain and Gander, however von Senger und Etterlin shows this one as the Krupp Entwurf 1....

Hi Emmanuel,

I think that your last image shows a 10.5cm Skoda leFH43t (prototype only). In the background a 21cm Skoda K39t series gun carriage trailer or perhaps (most probably) a 24cm Skoda H39t howitzer carriage trailer.
Do you know where the image was taken? Pilsen May 1945 perhaps??

Regards Sturm78.

Hello

Both guns are marked by the American troops as O.T.I.T. ( Ordnance Technical Inspection Team )
for reviewing these guns , but I can't read the complete number of the team .

Looking back in to my notes, the ebay caption was "Captured German Cannon At Nuremberg Germany Site'.

Hi Jos,

Looks to me like a 8 cm PAW 600 but there are a few oddities that suggest a modern copy. There appears to be no groove in the shield for direct sighting, the muzzle brake has precious little gas deflecting baffle and the wheels appear regular cartwheels.
