The
Canon de 76 M(montagne) modele 1909 Schneider (
76mm mle.09) was a
mountain gun manufactured by a
French company,
Schneider[?]. An earlier version, the
Schneider-Danglis 06/09 had been designed, in
1906, by a
Greek officer (
Colonel Danglis[?]), who designed it as a 75mm gun. This gun was used by Greece who, by
1939, had sold many of these guns to
Finland. In
1909, the revised 76.2mm gun was produced for
Russia; the Russians would refer to this as the
Mountain Gun Model 1909 (
76-09). In
1941, the
Germans captured a number of 76-09s, which they referred to as
7.62cm GebK 293(r). The guns were sometimes equipped with an
armoured shield.
