Sorry for intervention,
Till 25 mm (2,5 cm for germans) is not a AA gun.
It is a " schwere machinegewehr"
In generally, if we talk, a gun start to a 75 mm caliber (for AA and naval range).
The calibers goes quickly down to 20 mm after the second world war, when the marketing
policy made from " no-name company" in guns -field by making not signoficant changes of
the barrels diameters, is mainly for the reason of entering to the market of "bigs"

Jos,

I don't think the Italians captured these two 194/32 guns. The guns were most probably handed over after the June 40 armistice as were the railway guns.

Separately, I am skeptical that the Germans would identify the 19,4 cm K486(f) as of Italian origin with an "i" instead of the French origin.

Other possibilities could be:
- a typo where we should read 14,9 cm (i) instead
- a 19 cm coastal gun (190/39 or 190/42) (see here: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 0&t=196476 & here http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNAust_75-42_Skoda.htm). Was the actual caliber 194 mm ?

No it was not 194mm.
I can only guess that someone know that they received the guns from Italians and just went putting the "i" in the document.

Manuferey is right that the guns were not captured in combat.

Hi all,

I found this image on Ebay.
The barrel is an 305mm Obice da 305-17 but....the carriage and the wheels seems different to the standard. Any idea ??

Maybe the wheels of a siege mount being applied.

It appears a bit different than the Garrone siege mount http://www.italie1935-45.com/forum/view ... =34&t=3203

You can see here the Di Stefano mount: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/305/17
