German artillery piece at Beamish open air museum

www.flickr.com/photos/thenbman/7178009266/ As on the GWF I can't find the old topic for this - Regarding the Beamish gun - I believe there's been some question as to the identification of the gun as it could be one of two manufacturers. I naughtily hopped over the fence this weekend - can't see much but be happy to send the photo over to see if someone can enhance it at all. There appears to be the number 116 separate, the letter R, but unfortunately the last digit of the date is obscured! I think it may be 1918 though. Thick paint has obscured it - could certainly do with a restoration

I remember this gun on another forum (here) - it's a 15cm K16 gun barrel on a Rohrwagen. The pair of wheels at the breech end is missing.

It definitely is a Krupp built gun barrel.

Regards,

Charlie
