Front view, markings : 'Nr 2715 Fr.Kp. - gef.1898 Fr.Kp. - abg.1907 Gg.Sp.'. This tube is probably an old 1898 77 FK96 a/A, refurbished in 1907 into a modern 77 FK96 n/A in Spandau.

Lateral view - see the great refurbishing job done ! The arms 'Ultima Ratio Regis' is engraved on the tube.

Left to rust in the 70's, that gun was amazingly restaured in 2007.
