Jos,

The gun looks the same as on Seary's picture here:

It was identified by ludwig as a 152/50 (Cannone da 152/50 Mod A 1918).

Thanks Emmanuel

For the correct name of this gun , this gun was not used in San Remo , the Bat. Mameli in Pegli had the same type of guns.

Thanks gents. Any idea whether the gun is in German or Italian use?

The Ebay photo looks to me in German service with the M.A.A. 6./619 as B. Pegli I

Hi all,

A very similar gun (but not identical as there are a few differencies in the mount) was identified by ludvig as an 120 /45 Armstrong....

Both images seems of the same photo serie

I think really it seems a larger caliber gun...152mm

Hi all,

I am not sure about this Italian coastal gun.
Looking the projectile I would say an 152mm gun. 152mm L50 A Mod.1918 or L45 M1911 Armstrong....??

Coastal artillery is usually quite a messy subject.... :roll:
