Updating Landships II FK 96 n.A article(s)
Permalink   


 

Looking at the articles on Landships II on the FK 96 n.A field gun it seems to me that the multiple articles should be collapsed to a single article and a new article on the derivatives of the FK 96 n.A created.

I don't claim expertise on the FK 96 n.A derivatives but thought with help from the forum members we could come up with a satisfactory article. As far as I can remember the FK 96 derivatives should include:

7.7cm KH (does that stand for kleineHaubitze?) - FK 96 n.A on lFH 98/09 carriage - would need images

Nahrkampf - survivor at Miles, Qld

7.7 cm IG L/27 - would be good to have images of this one.

QF 77mm Mk.1 - captured FK 96 n.A converted to pedestal mounts for merchant ships by the British. Survivor at Mannum, SA.

Any others?

Regards,

Charlie

There is the 7,7cm K.i.H.  This is the 7,7cm lFK 1896 n/A barrel and recoil with the carriage for the 10,5cm l.F.H. 1898/09.  I have a sight-mount for one of these but it looks like no complete examples exist today.

Thanks Ralph - I found a thread on the K.i.H from last year. I think there's enough info in the thread to write something sensible about the K.i.H. It does seem as if there were about 20 or so batteries of K.i.H deployed.

I'm a bit stuck on I.G L/27 - there were reasonable numbers of these built/converted but there's a real derth of info on them. There may be a surviving I.G in private hands in Australia - getting images of it will be difficult.

Regards,

Charlie
