Markings on the rear section of the tube : 4224 Fr Kp - manufactured in 1900 by Gg Sp - modified in 1907 by Fr Kp - The tube wears arms, and is given a second serial # 5963

A sign says this gun has been captured by the 330e RI - 1st Compagnie, 20 aug 1918, probably during the Aisne attacks. The wheels, the trail and the seats are not originals.. There is a strange little mortar on the other si de of the memorial.
