German Manufactured 7,5cm Kanone Export Gun


Recommended Posts

I have recently added a German manufactured 7,5cm Kanone dated 1881 to the collection and a made a web page for it. This is the link:

This gun was an export gun and was never in German national or colonial service. I think it was an export piece to Spain or one of her colonies but don't know for sure. Any help would be appreciated in identifying the country this type was in service with.

 

There are four guns of this type in private collections in the USA. Amazingly all are just a few hours drive from one anther near Washington DC.

I have known many of the owners for over thirty years. These guns predate all of us by serval generations. None of the current owners have the background story on these pieces. I think they might be Bannerman's Guns, imported even before WW2.
