I'm waiting for some things to be scanned and emailed to me, but a couple of initial bits of info:<br /><br />The gun is a Krupp 150mm K16/L40 from probably 1902. There's another one of the same type in Dayton, VA according to the fellow I spoke to. But apparently the rarest item in your photo is actually the 4-wheel unit behind that right-hand gun. It's a barrel carrier, in which the barrel of the gun was put on the carrier and the cannon moved in two separate parts before being re-assembled in position. According to the man I talked to, that barrel carrier is believed to be the only one of its kind still in existence in the US, and possibly worldwide.Snickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197988102951501877.post-24075952839646791552010-06-08T07:04:24.309-07:002010-06-08T07:04:24.309-07:00Excellent!

Thanks for pursuing this. =) We were in a flow of traffic held up at a railroad crossing so we couldn't stop to look at the boards in front of the guns.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197988102951501877.post-79255568379887607402010-06-07T18:09:47.573-07:002010-06-07T18:09:47.573-07:00I found someone who's supposed to have the inf...I found someone who's supposed to have the info on them, but he was out when I called.
