Our latest release includes the 65mm mountain gun officially known as the Canon de 65 M modele. It was used in Frances overseas territories to supress any dissent and then saw service during WW1. The carriage of the gun could be broken down into four mule loads for transport. By 1939, the weapon was generally used as an infantry support gun. After the fall of France in 1940, the Germans used the guns as the 6,5 cm GebK 221(f), it was used by German mountain troops in the same role as its French counterparts had done. The gun was used by Israel in the 1948 conflict and also by Albania, Poland and Greece. Our mountain gun comes with 4 x Legionnaires, 2 x ammunition boxes and spare shells.
