German WW1 & WW2 10,5cm Howitzer Limber


Recommended Posts

In the last few days I have finally been able to get leave from work and make a bit more progress on the restoration on the German 10,5cm lFH 1898/09 Limber (Protze). The limber box came from France. It survived all these years as a wine cabinet in a Frenchman’s basement. The other parts including the under-frame, and wheels came from eastern Germany. I attached one photo but to see much more click onto the link below:

This is the WWI Era harnessing and saddles for this limber:

Ralph - last month I volunteered to transport a 10.5cm gun to and from a local history group's WW1 commemoration event. The wheels are modern just to make it mobile, maybe one day a pair of correct pattern wheels will turn up.
