Seclin (59)

Fort de Seclin

This very rare howitzer is now integrated in the collections of the Fort de Seclin (the pictures here have been taken when it was owned by the Pozière's Tommy's Bar museum.

Two arms are engraved on the seemingly unusually thick walled tube. Breech markings : ' Nr ???? - 1898 - 1900 FRIED. KRUPP'

Characteristic aspect. Note the absence of recuperator.
