70mm St. Chamond Mountain Howitzer

These two pieces are in excellent condition. They are fitted with interrupted screw breeches. Although these were produced prior to World War I in France, they were exported to Belgium Colonial Forces, Republic of Guatemala and possibly Mexico. The gray howitzer has Republic of Guatemala marks while the blue howitzer has no national markings.

One of these pieces is considered for sale or trade. Conact Ralph Lovett for additional informaiton.
