Yes, the photo is a German 7,7cm l.F.K. 1896 n/A or what is commonly known as a 7,7cm Feldkanone.  This is a link for my web page with identification drawings and photos of this gun type. Also below is a link for identification for all German Field Artillery in the WW1 Era and after that a link for the page on identification of all Foot Artillery in the WW1 Era:

And these are two pages on the two 7,7cm lFK 96 n/A that I have recently restored to operational condition in my collection:

and the 7,7cm lFK 96 Limber in my collection that I am still restoring:

Hope this helps

By chance I got hold of a copy of the handbook "Das Feldartillerie-Gerät 96 n/A - Untersuchung, Behandlung und Gebrauch", Berlin 1912 (no drawings or sketches unfortunately).

Is there a site where I could upload a scan of its 58 pages for further reference? It's 16MB @ 300dpi.

Hi,

Would you be able to scan and share the drawings of the manual? It would be much appreciated.
