Spaceman Posted 10 March Share Posted 10 March (edited) It's a 149.1 mm calibre Cannone da 149/35 A introduced in 1900 - basically a heavy field gun with a max range of 16.5 km but lacking a recoil system. Edited 10 March by Spaceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Spaceman, Yes, of course; - thank you for your reference. At first I assumed it was a British delivery and therefore a 6" naval gun on wheel mount.
