Dear Savas Karakas,

Sorry that I reply so late, but only now did I see your message.

Adolpheit has already shown a factory picture of the gun, but here's one of the guns that was in Ottoman service (they had 28 pieces).

The gun at Bandirma where the first fire was shot againts the invading Greeks in 1919. The Newspaper "İlk Haber" informed that the wheels are rotten the shells were stolen. The newspaper says that it is a tragedy that the municipality of the town never cares the gun.

Gun at the Province of Kastamonu. Kastamonu played an important role during the War of Turkish Liberation. The men and material smugled from arsenals of occupied Istanbul were carried by black Sea boats to Inebolu and transported via Kastamonu to Ankara.
