- L.Delsing Former Swiss gun, the only original NLD variant is in the army museum in Delft There is at least another dutch Bohler. It's in Museo dell'Artiglieria, Torino (Italy). Unfortunately that Museum has been closed since decades, even if it has an amazing collection (something like Cecchignola, just for guns). This specific gun was captured by the germans, who passed to the italians.

Looking at something from Bucharest. Indoor they have this 47 mm Bohler, no shield, no muzzle-brake. The configuration is similar to the one used by the Italian Army:

Outoor they have another Bohler, with shield and muzzle-brake. Could it be a former dutch gun? I know the Italian Army got dutch gunss from Germany, maybe Romanian Army got them too? I am sorry I don't have better shots of these:

I checked my books, Breda sold 150 guns to Romania around 1939. The indoor gun seems to be one of them. Massimo
