Yep, it's definitely the BL 6 inch Mk. VII gun in traveling carriage. Originally these were statically mounted coast guns.

Thank you very much, SASH155.

Here another super heavy gun for Id.  I think it is only the barrel being transported by railcar and I guess it is of French origin.

Dear Mr. Martin ,

so sorry that i wasn't on here for long and saw your post earlier .

I am glad to know now to where some Krupp Guns dissapeared

after they have been jused here in Germany till the I WW .

They have been builded 7 miles away from me in Essen and i builded and

build them still as steelmade models original riveted as you may see on the

pics below. Will seek out some pictures from a great Krupp book and some

other archives next . Fellows here will please forgive me cause i posted

them allready on other topics. I have also some pics from Obuchov cannons

which where mostly license or covered types of our Krupp ones . Only

the breeches were a russian - most screw-breech construction .

That's all i can say for first - i am looking forward for a long changing of

mails here

sincerely

Gerd Heinrichs ( Lafettenheini )

Ps . : More pics from the model in advance and others by request

I believe it is a mark VII, as the section over the top of the gun tube just foward of the wheels with a projection sticking out at approx 45 degrees is not something that shows in Mark XIX photos, I have seen things very similsar in Mark VII photos.

In addition, note all the gunners are well clear of the path of the gun rcoil! The Mark XIX is on the 8" Howitzer Carriage & recoil system so while it did move about it was nowhere near as voilent in the recoil as the Mark VII!

Yes, this is another Mk. VII. The BL 6 inch gun Mk. VII "in travelling carriage" had a ring cradle and bottom mounted recoil cylinders left over from the coastal mounts that this ordnance originally came from. And indeed, the later purpose built Mk. XIX's had the carriage and sleigh type cradle with the recoil system mounted inside of the BL 8 inch Mk. VI-VIII howitzers.

Hi all,

Does somebody if this Krupp 21cm coastal gun on Verschwindlafette (dissappearing carriage) was used by the Germans or any other country ?

I know that Germany use a 28cm Kst. K. L45 gun model on Verschwindlafette in Battery Deich, Wilhelmshaven...but not an 21cm gun model
