Later on, after it was acquired by Krupp, the company was called Friedrich Krupp AG Grusonwerk.

I remember at one point Rafal started listing all of these:

57 mm Gruson turret gun 1892 by Massimo Foti, on Flickr

Massimo, what is the "Gruson" reference? I thought these were all Krupp horse drawn and emplaced turrets. Is this not the same thing? Maybe it's just a language reference...see link below.

This pictures show some 37 and 47 mm Czechoslovakian guns, and it also gives you an idea about the area where all the unidentified guns are stored. It's quite crowded Smile

Regarding the 10cm Turkish gun at Sofia.

The Ottoman army ordered 18 10cm Belagerungskanone (Siege Gun) in 1905. These were 105mm L/30 guns weighing about 2900kg. It looks a good match for the gun at Sofia except for the muzzle brake. The gun is similar to the 107mm Krupp gun supplied to the Russian Army.

The date of 1905 is quoted but there doesn't seem to be an image of the date marking. If, as seems likely, the gun was processed through the Imperial Arsenal at Istanbul it should have a Rumi date and serial no. in Osmanli script.

The Osmanli script on the breech ring puts a bound on when the gun entered service since imported guns after the start of WW1 don't have
the script and locally (Turkish) built guns stopped using the script just after the end of WW1.

Regards,

Charlie
