Most probably a unique mortar nowdays, this mortar has been produced in 8 specimen only

These prototypes have led to the design of the famous 21cm M10 mortars, but it is hard to find similarities between both weapons...

Markings unknown, but the tube is marked with Prussia arms, and the gun is reported to be the Nr 3 from 1906
