Thanks for another interesting read. I didn't even know about this gun and from the looks of it I think it is better not to display a scale model of it at a show - people would always take it for a toy!
Earlier Krupp guns without recoil absorption had even heavier carriages - the carriages had to be extremely strong and therefore heavy to handle the recoil forces without
distorting. Once Krupp started building guns with recoil absorption the carriages could be made much lighter. The sFH M1902 carriage was made of steel pressings which
were riveted together. I think the "toy" appearance seems to be a result of designing the smallest, and therefore lightest, gun which could be towed by a six horse team.
I believe the German artillerymen liked the sFH 93 because it was simple, tough and reliable although it must have been a pain to lever it back into battery after
