Austro-Hungarian Škoda 8cm M.5/8
Permalink   

I recently picked up an Austro-Hungarian Škoda 8cm M.5/8. It is currently demilitarized, but the end goal is to register it and restore it for live fire. It is actually in surprisingly good condition, but I am missing a few minor details—specifically the breech handle, the trigger, and the sight mount. If you happen to have any of these set aside in a cupboard somewhere and could use some extra cash, please let me know. I am also looking for USA-based leads on shell cases, projectiles, or fuzes to go with it.

Thanks Nuyt.  I have a number of other projects ongoing including a US 3.2 inch M1885 which is very near completion, a second German 10,5cm lFH 98 Limber (Protze), a Prussian Krupp 8cm C/64/67, and a Russian 107mm 1877/42 Line Gun.  As each of these is completed, I will post a little about them of this forum and the web site is more or less up to date on the progress:  Lovett Artillery Collection Main Page
