    Hello,
    This weapon has caused me much confusion. It has the looks of a mortar, but the angle of the barrel and sight suggests field gun. Also it looks like it is designed with a base plate, to be brought into action once the wheels have been removed. It is clearly Reichswehr period, but other than that....Kerry.

      Yep a german '7.58 cm Minenwerfer' with this square baseplace it might be of of the pre first war variants.

      Where as the Stokes mortar was simplicity itself, really nothing more than a hollow tube with a pin at the end, The Germans, given thier Tutonic nature , had to make something to fill the same role but do 30 others as well.

      Though during the lean Reichswehr days these mortars where the only artiliry they where allowed
