The 105 mm field howitzer shown here was manufactured in 1940 ed it served in the armata francese during la seconda guerra mondiale. The howitzer is on display at the Musée de l’Armée in Paris.

The original olive drab colour can still be seen on less exposed parts of the howitzer trail, shield, breech e recoil mechanism.
