The shape of tha WW1 gun is clearly making one think of the famous future WW2 88mm AA gun

The carriage is equipped with two wheels at the front, and a spade at the rear

The breech is well renovated, and the marking is visible : '7.7 cm - nr 36 - 1917 - Rohrgew.m.V. 475 kg - REINISCHE METAL LWAAREN & MASCHINENFABR. DUSSELDORF'
