Skoda 100mm houfnice vz 14 (Obice da 100/17 modello 14).
The Skoda 100mm gun was used by the Italians in Africa during the war, but it started life as a specialist heavy mountain gun in 1914. At the start of the 20th century Skoda (along with Krupp) were world leaders in artillery technology and many European countries equipped their forces with guns from the Skoda works.
The 100/17 (as designated by the Italians later) was initially designed as a mountain howitzer that could be broken down and transported by packhorse. Though it could be broken down, the carriage proved too heavy for most armies requirements and a lighter field trail was designed, the 100mm houfrice vz 14.
This sprue is in Excellent condition.
