    Question on Artillery


    Recommended Posts

    Posted (edited)

    Hello!

    I´ve got this nice photo of a gun, maybe a howitzer?

    I checked my books and the internet, but I couldn´t find this one.

    Because of the house in the background the photo could have been taken in Italy.

    It seems to be about a 155m.

    It looks like a french 155mm M17, but the counterweight is half-round. Normally they were square.

    Maybe italian 210 or 260mm?

    Note the additional "bars" at the wheel. For what?

    Unfortunatly I can´t read the letters, it reads like a M224 or anything else.
