    Mrs took this photo on her phone as we drove past it couple of weeks ago, couldnt stop for better view or a visit.
    I can usually ID stuff but am stumped on this one.
    Any experts of post-war Austrian Artillery?
    Looks long enough to be an 88.
    Found some more pics here.

    Found that pic too but the caption doesnt help much.
    Was hoping for it's proper designation.
    Can't find anything.

    Panzerwurfkanone?

    Reminiscent of the US m5 3" too, but I can't help feeling it looks Sov-bloc in origin.

    Hmm:

    Arggghhhhhh!!

    Whilst trying to ID stolpi 's unknown gun I've realised these are Austrian versions of this.
    85 mm vz. 52 - Wikipedia
    I was looking at Soviet 85mm D44s & this came up.
