That would be really a monumental task. I would not be surprised if over 200 locations would emerge from Italy alone.
I could help with some locations, pictures and link for Italy. Do you have a starting list?

I have a good list of japanese artilley. Just wondering if anyone had started the others.

Massimo_Foti

Is your list available o the web?

Massimo

Massimo_Foti

There is a major point to consider: how about captured guns? The italian army after WW I and during WW II used plenty of former austro-hungarian guns. At first the italian industry just repaired them, at one point they started producing those guns from scratch. Should we considered those gun italians?

The last updated 100mm guns, rechambered for 105mm were still in active service in the seventhies. See:

I have a good list of japanese artilley

Did some one just say japanese artillery
There are some guns at the Overloon museum

1 is an AA-gun 75mm, the other is an 150mm howitzer

Will have to check when I get home, to know the good description

Concerning the captured guns, this could be difficult
I know at least 2 Belgium AT-guns that where captured and used in the German army during WW2
If I'm correct there is more, including an Skoda artillery piece and 2 French Schneider guns at the Overloon museum
There is also an French Schneider gun somewhere as monument

The case of the austro-hungarian guns goes beyond the typical captured guns. They styed in service for more than 30 years after their capture, and many were rebuild or produced from scratch in Italy. If you see a 100/17 or 75/13 most of the tmes you can't tell if it was manufactured by Skoda or an italian factory/arsenal.

Massimo, I have the Japanese list on a Access data base

Massimo_Foti

Access is fine for me but, more in general, I think if you make it available on the web more people would be aware of it and willing to contribute

Massimo

Michel_Krauss

To get back on with the Japanese guns at Overloon

first one: Osaka Arsenal Type 4 150mm howitzer

second one: Type 3 76 mm naval type high angle AA Gun

Hello everyone, problem number 1 is I have no idea how to post the Japanese list, it has 395 items with photos. problem number 2 is I'm not very computer literate.

Michel, thank you for posting pics
The Type 4 above is on the travel carriage, notice no recoil system.
The Type 3 might well be the only one left...

How large is the file?

Massimo

Another reason to go to Overloon this year Mr. Green

Do not ask how these got here in the Netherlands, I have no idea
There is only an short description of the gun on the sign next to it

Concerning the 76mm, it actually an 76.2mm
However the dot give's some problems in some programms

There is also one at the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan
Most likely the person who put it there had the same problem as I did, because the description is 80mm Laughing
