This video from Forgotten Weapons discusses the Krupp 50mm mountain guns acquired by Siam (now Thailand) in 1906. These guns were designed for portability, capable of being broken down for transport by elephant, mule, or soldiers. The description highlights their simple construction with a fixed barrel and steel-belted wooden wheels. A notable point is that these specific guns are exempted from NFA regulations and transfer like standard firearms, making them an attractive option for cannon enthusiasts. The video also corrects an earlier assumption about a Thai property mark, identifying the interlocking rings as Krupp's logo.
This video provides a detailed look at the Krupp 50mm Mountain Gun, specifically the Thai Model 1902 variant. The presenter highlights its German Krupp origin and its design as a relatively simple and inexpensive artillery piece for its time, noting the absence of a recoil mechanism and adjustable traverse. The description also points to the Forgotten Weapons website for more information.
