 History
|
|
Under construction.
The 1912 model was a slightly modified
version of the '75/27 Modello 06' built by Vickers-terni around 1912 in small
numbers. It was only ever produced in the horse-drawn wooden spoked model
and was never upgraded to a motor vehicle traction version.
Limited numbers of the Italian Cannone da
75/27 modello 12 were still in service in 1943 and they were taken over by
the German forces after the Italian capitulation.
