15cm Krupp export howitzers
Permalink   


 

Thinking beyond the project on the 75mm Krupp guns....

Krupp also exported 15cm howitzers before WW1 in modest numbers. There is some information around on these howitzers but like

the 75mm field guns it seems to be fragmented and sometimes confusing.

I think it might be a worth while exercise to untangle which countries bought/acquired these guns, their types and survivors.

Any and all contributions gratefully received.

Regards,

Charlie

Hello.

Can anyone define if it is an ordinary s.F.H.93 or a special one? Massimo Foti says there were no markings...

15 cm sFH 93
15 cm sFH 93

Regards,

Ilya

Massimo and I had a discussion about this gun in another forum. Best guess is that it is a 12cm howitzer built 1892-98. The howitzer uses

a lot of similar components to the 15cm M1893.

Regards,

Charlie
