Hello
#765 16 Feb 2021 . The gun is not an 10,5 cm SKL/45 because of the your gun have
an Rundkeilveschluss , but the 10,5 cm have an Flachkeilveschluss . it could be
an 15 cm SKL/40 .

Prior to the war 1939 the estonians listed a 234 mm cd battery as "Rannapatarei(Battery) nr. 6: (234mm)" in their order of battle. It was listed as part of the Suurop Peninsula Command.
Does anyone have any information (pictures or datasheets) about ammunition for those 234 mm guns in Finland and in Estonia?? We got two 9.2-inch shells. One is colored and markings on it, but another one is rusty but they are the same.

It is more or less impossible to ID this shell - I couldn't find any information. :(

Best regards

Markings on it shows that it is 9.2-inch (234/45) Bethlehem Steel U.S. shell.

The same shell.

These are the 210 MM former Turkish Krupp guns captured by Greece located at Saloniki Greece. The pic shows them after their capture by the Germans during WW II.

Thank you very much for your answer, Roland1369. Do you know the exact model of these Krupp guns ?
Where the Turkish installed these guns ?

From the shape of the breech counterweight I would say this is a 155 mm k 416(F) aka 155 MM Schnieder Long M1917.

15.5cm k 425(f) :-) Wheels are different to those on the 416(f), no shield, different length of barrel sections and other differences in details

Hello everybody
We need help in confirming the participation of 767 heavy Abteylung in the siege of Odessa.(210 mm K-39)
Wikipedia claims that this abteilung took part in the siege, but I could not find more than one document or source. Does anyone have such information or documents very much needed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The photos show two of the six 15,5 cm K425(f) guns in Heeres-Küstenbatterie 18./976 Gossen-Süd in Aukra, Norway.

Aerial photo from 1968 shows the gun-positions:
