Hi all,

I found these two interesting images on Ebay:

Image 1 : I think 10.5cm SK C33 AA guns in 8.8cm Dopp.LC31gE mount. Can anyone confirm this? Can anyone identify the warship?
Image 2 : Rheinmetall 3.7cm MK in a naval mount. Source: 50Jahre Rheinmettall Düsseldorf 1889-1939. Have anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Greetings Sturm78

Hi Sturm78

I think the first is a 10,5 cm S.K.C/33 in 8,8 cm Dopp.L.C/31 , the second please see page 1
of this topic and http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... itslafette

Hi Sturm 78,
the 3,7 cm Rheinmetall is most probably a navalised version of Model 39 supplied to Romania. And this, in turn, should be developmemt of 3,7 cm Flak 36.
The gun was carried by Romanian river monitors Basarabia, Bucovina (both ex Austrians) as well as Ion Bratianu, Lascar Catargiu, Alexandru Lahovary, Mihail Cogalniceanu + Ardeal ( also ex Austrians). In my opinion same guns were carried by Romanian destroyers and also famous Admiral Murgescu minelayer.
Maybe somebody can share photos of these guns aboard Romanian warships?

Hello

I am not sure but the "normal " 4 cm Bofors is a 2 sitter and the naval version looks to be a 3 sitter .

Bofors constructed special naval mounts prior to WWII. It seems tt small fleets were the first to adopt them. The very first major units to carry them were most probably Polish destroyers Grom and Blyskawica ( launched 1936, commissioned 1937), both carrying two twin mounts of 40 mm/L60 (wz.36) as well as Dutch cruiser De Ruyter (commissioned 1937) which carried 5 twins on Hazemeyer triaxal mountings.Finland and Norway followed. Also Yugoslavs intended to use them on newly-built destroyer Split but did not manage to import them prior to German invasion in 1941. The British adopted Bofors on their ships in 1940-41 ( even when Royal army had them several years earlier) and Mk I up to Mk X mountings were developed during WWII. US Navy used them not earlier than since 1942. More can be found in well-known book of John Campbell . As to German naval mounts, Campbell refers to them as Flak 28 , but Kriegsmarine probably also used guns captured in Poland and France.

Hi all,

Can anybody identify this naval gun? I think in a 15cm Tbts KC/36 or in a 12.7cm SK C/34. It is difficult for me differentiate between both guns. Are they the same guns that the guns of my images posted here on 23 Dec 2009??
