Modified 25-pounder guns

Excellent Hanno ,thanks for posting those. There is quite a variation between the surviving examples, the one you have photographed has a very early barrel and jacket minus Muzzle brake and counter balance so it would seem however the Guns came in....... the axles, shield and carriages were converted as is.
This gun also has a standard perch eye fitted and not the swivel type used in the modification.
All good info that builds a bigger picture !

Rob,

Just edited my post above: rechecking the pictures of the one at The Hague, I found it is a Mk.2 carriage, even though the plate on it reads Mk.1 |L|.

Wrong plate? I cannot imagine a Mk.1 carriage being narrowed into a Mk.2.
