IrishGunner Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Here's a nice close up of the breech and sights for the 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 (10.5 cm FH 98/09). It's also interesting because it has the unit markings... Geschutz 3, 6. (Fahrende) Batterie, Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.94. The chalk markings at the top of the shield I believe are azimuth and range data for a planned or priority target... (probably a bunch of infantrymen).

IrishGunner Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Nice additions Odulf. I especially like the ones with Ypern and Reims chalked on the shells and gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 15 cm schwere Feldhaubitze 1902 (15cm sFH 02); this is a very commonly seen photo post card. This one "gelaufen" by Feld-Artillerie Batterie 252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) To #55. The photo in the middle: That is a very interesting photo! It´s a 9cm Flak model "Schnetzler", also used by my grandpas unit, the FAR43 Edited September 29, 2013 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Here I got a nice photo of a Feldhaubitze 98/09. I put it together with a technical drawing. It´s nice, because both pictures were made from the same angle of view Edited September 29, 2013 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Artist rendition of a 15cm Ringkanone C92 on a patriotic card...

IrishGunner Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Interesting photo (to me at least) because of the sign: Waffenmeister-Werkstaette. Repair shop for the guns. This photo has the usual 15cm sFH 02 of the Fussartillerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) This artist card of the 15cm sFH 02 may be as common as the gun itself. Jager notes that this was the first artillery piece to use a modern recoil system in the German Army and over 400 were in service at the start of the war.

IrishGunner Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 It's difficult to find a photo of this gun on the internet; there are just a couple. Unfortunately, the carriage is hidden, but the trunnions give it's identity away...

Marcin L Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Here is mine. I have no idea what's the name/model. But still, looks huge. (click to enlarge please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Despite being a somewhat antiquated piece, the German artillery appreciated the range capabilities of the French de Bange Canon de 155 L Modele 1877 and turned captured guns on their former owners. This looks like a crew of Bavarian Fuss-Artillerie (note what appear to be MVK ribbons). Any help with the reverse writing appreciated...
