Correction: 105 mm Mle 1897.
See http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... f#p1438119

I believe it is the 105 mm battery at Pointe des Espagnols near Brest, France.

After a reexamination of the barrel step on the guns I feel that my identification was in error and Manuferey was correct. These are 105 MM French guns.

This is one of the german 105 MM naval guns mounted at Fort Iltis in the fortress of Tsingtao china. The guns were in place between the wars utill scrapped by the Japanese during WWII occupation. This appears to be a post WW I pic from the damage to the gun and emplacement.
