Hi Hans, welcome!

The Royal Dutch Navy ordered 40 pieces of the "37 mm 50 calibre semi automatic A.A. gun on naval Pedestal Mounts". All 40 were delivered to Java in 1941.

Do you know anything of their use in 1942? I recall vaguely one 37mm gun used with the Mahakan riverfleet, near Samarinda, Borneo. Several local OOB's list some Navy 3,7cm guns in 1942, but I have always assumed these were the 19th century sloop guns.

As soon as I know who to post a photograph on this site I will put some examples of this gun in Suriname and Curacao.

Wow, looking forward to that! If posting pics is a problem let us know: prepare you pics on the mijn afbeeldingen section and downsize to 101 mb, than use the button bladeren when you compose you post and just click the picture you want from your mijn afbeeldingen section...
Cheers,
