Misidentified gun on picture[edit]

I removed the picture that was obviously not a 105 mm mle 36, but an older gun without the split-trail carriage of the mle 36. PpPachy (talk) 09:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the 105 mle 36 has a split-trail carriage, so I removed another pic of the misidentified gun. 105 mle 36s intended for the French army were generally found without a shield, but with tyre wheels. Export examples intended for Romania typically had shields, different wheels, and a muzzle brake. You can see pics of the real 105 mle 36 (both variants) on the following page: [1], unfortunately they are non-free AFAIK. PpPachy (talk) 12:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So why don't you correct the description on the photographs themselves ? Otherwise nobody else will know they are wrong and will keep adding them to this page. Rcbutcher (talk) 14:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Canon de 105 long mle. 1936 Schneider (L36S) in the collection of the Syrian military museum.[edit]

Apparently the Syrians inherited or were supplied with a few of these guns, as there is an example of the Romanian version of this weapon (the Romanian guns had a distinctive single baffle muzzle brake) in the collection of the Damascus military museum, just next to a much more common 155mm "canon de 155 court mle. 1917 Schneider" (C17S) field howitzer. The French had seized some of the Romanian contract guns prior to the German invasion of 1940 for their own use, and no doubt some may have been passed on to the Syrian army after Syria's independence in 1943.SASH155 (talk) 00:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)SASH155, W.
