Dear Mr . Uyraell,
I got this message before:
“Mr. Tiger, I can assure you that the howitzer in question is not in any way related to the Empire of the Rising Sun but instead must be sought after in a country that lies further west.”
Sincerely,
TIGER
Maybe if I told you the calibre of this nice artillery piece is exactly 105mm it will help with your enquiries?
We already established it was produced by an esteemed weapons manufacturer from Essen, so this should be real easy to find now…
Krupp 10,5cm L12 ?
Turkish Army?
TGR
Spot on!
Indeed, that is the artillery piece in the photograph, a WW1 veteran that was in active service with the Turkish Army until the early 50s.
Your turn!
My dear friends,
I hope that this exellent, but rare gun has not appeared before.
So, please denominate it!
TGR
Ok, I must confess I am unable to identify this right away, so I’ll be needing some clues, for example the calibre of this piece, not immediately discernible from the photograph. (I’m guessing 8inch or 210mm)
a BIIIIG HELP: Belive or not, this is an AA gun!!!
Actually, I believe it, since our mystery cannon is one of only two Japanese [b]Type 5 15 cm AA Guns[/b]. I had thought from the onset that the tube looked vaguely Japanese, but I wasted a lot of time looking into the different mounting system of the Type 3 12 cm AA Gun before I got to the right answer…
Correct answer!
Congratulations!
I hope you can agree with me, this was a rarety! 
It is now your turn, I am waiting for the next enigma!
TGR
Oops.
I forgot about this thread and I suddenly discover that it had been my turn to post for over ten months…
In any case, in order to breathe some life into this discussion, here is a rather straightforward riddle:
this looks like a 28cm krupp coastal artillery , maybe at oscarsburg ??
yeah this must be one of the three guns that sank the Blücher on 9 april 1940 in the Oslofjord, here’s a pic from the rear…
Absolutely correct!
Welcome to the board, Mr. Ronnyguitar, your turn to post.
ok, thx !! it’s almost midnight here, so i’ll post in a few hours …ok ??
so here’s my pic :
good luck !!
Thank you for sharing this picture of a nicely restored Hotchkiss 37 mm Revolving Cannon, Mr. Ronnyguitar!
I must however confess that for me that is the single most recognisable piece of artillery, since I grew just a hundred yards up the street from the Romanian Navy Museum which just happens to have a couple of those parked in front…
lol, you’re absolutely right wingsofwrath… !! and it’s a quite funny cannon…
youre turn !!
Ok, then, what is this piece of artillery?
mmm not quite sure, looks like a russian 76mm nickname Ratsch-Boom, here’s another pic…
a ZIS3 76mm perhaps ? , here’s another pic (my first answer disappeared ??)
