And these two from expired Ebay action too, with description: Beijing area. Hm, I am not sure seeing guy in sowjet army traditional winter cap "budyonovka". Maybe Vladivostok area, an Obuchov factory gun?

Re: Help Id these heavy coastal guns
They appear to be 7.5 inch Mark II naval guns on CP mounts.

Re: Help Id these heavy coastal guns
My mistake. These are 7.5 inch mark VI guns not Mark IIs. There were 5 of them emplaced in Mozambique by the british during WWII.

Re: Help Id these heavy coastal guns
Looks like Krupp gun with shield fixed to the base by turntable bottom with bolts/nuts.
Re: Help Id these heavy coastal guns
Hi Forty,
Your photo looks more like the 24cm of Batterie Brandenburg (Festung Hoek van Holland).
If so it was built on an early Marine SK (about 1.5.m thick concrete).

About the first image, I suppose this gun is the same that 15cm SK L40, is it not?
On the other hand, Can somebody identify this gun ?
