Need help : Restoration of a Spanish Schneider mountain gun 70 mm M 1908.
Permalink   

muni_7016_07.jpgI should need help for a project of restoration. Mr Jon Stanat is searching for documentation dealing with the Spanish Schneider mountain gun 70 mm M 1908 in order to restaure the artillery piece located in his town. He is searching in fact for plans or measurements in order to fabricate a replacement shield for this mountain gun.

Is there anybody who could furnish some original documentations for the fabrication of this piece?

Please find enclosed pictures of the gun.

I thank you in advance.

You are welcome!
Regarding the shield, I'm sorry I couldn't find any plans; but there are plenty of pictures of the gun when they were deployed in the streets of Barcelona during the great general strike of 1917.
