Photo Interpretation Help Needed

I have found a gun where there should be no gun, and I should like to know where it came from. Can anybody suggest what the number on the breech might be? I don't want to unduly influence anybody, but I will say that I am 99% certain the number begins with 152. All the images are of the same gun, just taken from slightly different angles in the hope that... well, in hope! It is a 77fk16.

Thank you

I'd call it as "Nr. 15204" - that sounds about right for the serial number on an FK 16.

Where is the gun? Is it noted in the Canadian allocations of WW1 guns?

Regards,

Charlie

The gun is in Sandy Cove Acres, Innisfil, Ontario. No trophy gun was allocated there. According to this site, some veterans made their own war memorial around 1982 and acquired this gun. I was hoping I could read the serial and see where they got it from. I have emailed the community office and perhaps they will be able to tell me something.

15204, which is what I read it as as well, was the 77mm gun allocated to Galt, Ontario. Galt doesn't exist any more, it now forms part of Cambridge, Ontario.
