Notes | The Obice da 100/17 Modello 16 was a Skoda designed mountain gun which were either captured or given over to Italy after the First World War. It provided Italian mountain formations with heavy fire support and could be quickly broken down into three loads for transport. Like all Skoda weapons it was robust and reliable and saw widespread use. |
