§§- Schneider 75 mm PD06bis en Irak !!!

De la part de Ralph Lovett, dont la superbe collection personnelle est présentée sur son site http://www.lovettartillery.com/

Se peut-il que ce canon soit un Saint-Chamond, alors qu'il ressemble tqnt à un Schneider PD 07 ???

Bernard,

Recently, a friend serving as a Field Artillery Battalion Commander in Iraq found several Serbian marked 75mm 1907A artillery pieces. I have attached photos of one of these guns.

He has also stated that the piece is marked to St. Chamond. To me this is a puzzle. Was St. Chamond a manufacturer of this type? Does the 1907A model normally have an Interupted-Screw Breech (as this one does) or a Nordenfelt Breech?

This one was obviously captured by the Central Powers from the Serbs and is still in Iraq to this day. It is hopeful that this piece will come to the US once the unit re-deploys.

Any additional information you my have on the 75mm 1907A or the 1906 would be greatly appreciated.

Bonjour,
Ce canon est un modèle réglementaire Serbe
Mle 1907 A,construit par Schneider dont l'appellation "usine" est Modèle PD 6 bis.
Il a existé aussi un modèle serbe Mle 1907,appellation Schneider PD 6 ,pratiquement identique construit à 188 exemplaires.
L'armoirie gravée sur le canon est celle de la Serbie:
Aigle bicéphale de la dynastie Nemanjic,Croix Serbe,cape d'hermine.
