1. 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 (Wikipedia).
Excerpt: The 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09, a short barreled (1625 mm) 105mm howitzer, was used by the German Empire, Kingdom of Romania as well as the Ottoman Empire in World War I and after. It had a maximum range of 6,300 metres (20,700 ft).(Submitted on April 9, 2025, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
It was originally built by Rheinmetallas the 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98, an old-fashioned, fixed-recoil weapon delivered to the German army in 1898; between 1902 and 1904, it was redesigned, by Krupp, with a new recoil mechanism and a new carriage. However, it wasn't accepted for service until 1909, hence the ending designation 98/09. Existing weapons were rebuilt to the new standard. As usual, two seats were attached to the gun shield. There were 1,260 in service at the beginning of World War I.Photographed by Cosmos Mariner, August 3, 20192. Calibre: 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09 Marker
