After WW II the italian army updated these guns. They were rechambered to 105 mm (to use standard NATO ammo), got a muzzle brake, a Hogg Device and entered service as 105/22 mod 1961.

Bulgarian Army captured some of these howitzers from Romanian Army in 1917. Serbian Army captured several pieces in 1918

#21: Re: Belgrade. Kalemegdan Fortress Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Mon May 21, 2012 6:03 am ---- The Museum owns plenty of light anti-tank guns. It wasn't easy for me to identify all the variants based on Rheinmetall 37 mm design, the soviet 37 mm and 45 mm guns made the job error prone. I would love to get help on this. If you feel you may like to review all of them, start from here: www.flickr.com/photos/...743227210/
Thanks in advance

#24: Re: Belgrade. Kalemegdan Fortress Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Wed May 23, 2012 6:32 pm ---- Another pack gun, with a very interesting story behind it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...glis_06/09
#25: Re: Belgrade. Kalemegdan Fortress Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Thu May 24, 2012 4:56 pm ---- First time ever I saw a 75 mm M1A1 pack howitzer with spooked wheels:
#26: Re: Belgrade. Kalemegdan Fortress Author: Massimo_Foti, Location: Lugano, SwitzerlandPosted: Mon May 28, 2012 9:12 am ---- This beautifully preserved gun is identified as "105 mm 98/09 Krupp" used by Turkish Army during Balkan Wars and WW I:
I am afraid the Museum is wrong on this. Wikipedia talks about this model as an howitzer, with a much shorter barrell: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...itze_98/09
Any help on this?

#28: Re: Belgrade. Kalemegdan Fortress Author: karlper, Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 7:28 pm ---- The 105 mm 98/09 Krupp topic 28 may 2012
I think is a Skoda 105 mm mountain gun model 1939 Skoda D9
without shield and with steel italian wheels, similar to the 75/42 mod 34 or 35. Probably used by the italians?
