They were bought from Krupp (104) and produced on licence (210). This was the first really modern artillery in Sweden and it served throghout ww2, in line duty, the last pieces still serving in one division (batallion) of A4 in 1945. These guns had inadequate range and hitting power for ww2, and can be regarded as hopelessly obselete by the outbreak of ww2, even though the gun was light and small, which made it suitable for Swedish terrain.Sources part on the fate of these guns, some claim most were converted to 7,5cm Kanon m/02-33, other still claim that they were stored away in mothball. At least 12 were converted to 7,5cm Kanon m/02-10 and 108 were converted to 7,5cm Kanon m/02-33 and at least 12 still remained as 7,5cm Kanon m/02 in 1945. According to one source, 8 guns were converted to AA guns in 1917 (7,5cm Lvkan m/18), however, I do not know if these guns were scrapped or returned to field gun role later. The rest were probably used for the local defence units and/or built into various defence installations.7,5cm Kanon m/02-10Caliber: 75 mmBarrel lenght: 27 calProjectile Weight: 6,8 kgMuzzle Velocity: 489 m/sMax elevation: 43Range: 10 000 mTraverse: 2Trail: BoxGun weight in action: 1 225 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 7,5cm m/00Design: Krupp/BoforsWheels: Spoked woodShield: YesYear of delivery: 1933Quantity: 12In 1933, the old 7,5cm Kanon m/02 was considered as obselete, especially since it had such a short range. The Army wanted new guns, preferably with higher range and heavier shell, but the funds were not available. Thus, it was decided to improve some of the existing 7,5cm Kanon m/02. The guns were simply put on the carriage of the 10,5cm Haubits m/10, thus enabling a max elevation of 43 (as opposed to the 16 of the 7,5cm Kanon m/02) and a max range of 10 000 meters. The conversion of 12 guns were considered as a step forward, but not perfect, and further work led to the 7,5cm Kanon m/02-33 conversion.7,5cm Kanon m/02-33Caliber: 75 mmBarrel lenght: 27 calProjectile Weight: 6,6 kgMuzzle Velocity: 496 m/sMax elevation: 43Range: 10 000 mTraverse: 50Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 1 400 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 7,5cm m/00Wheels: Spoked wood or rubber covered steelDesign: Krupp/BoforsShield: YesYear of delivery: 1933, probably later tooQuantity: 108The 7,5cm Kanon m/02-33 was a decent improvement of the old 7,5cm Kanon m/02. On a completely new lavette (some sources seem to indicate that this was the same lavette as the 7,5cm Kanon m/40) the elevation was improved to 43 and the traverse to 50. The increased elevation allowed for the range to increase to 10 000 meters. Some of the guns (no source I have indicate how many) had rubber rim steel wheels instead of the old spoked wood wheels, to make them suitable for high-speed motor towing. The new lavette made the gun heavy though, almost too heavy for the standard horse set used by the Swedish artillery to move their guns.7,5cm Kanon m/40Caliber: 75 mmBarrel lenght: 37,5 calProjectile Weight: 6,6 kgMuzzle Velocity: 225-525 m/sMax elevation: 45Range: 10 700 mTraverse: Probably 50Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 1 435 kgRate of Fire: N/A (probably high due to automatic opening and closing of the breech)Prolonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 7,5cm m/00Design: BoforsWheels: Spoked wood or rubber covered steelShield: YesYear of delivery: 1940 and 1942Quantity: 64 (28 m/40S, 16 m/40A and 20 m/40)The 7,5cm Kanon m/40 was a sound and modern design by Bofors, intended for the export market. Siam had ordered 80 and Argentina 224 of these guns, the 52 that were finished were seized by Swedish authorities as war broke out in Europe 1939. After negotiations, the Finns bought 8 of Argentinas guns, thus Sweden kept 44 of the guns (designated 7,5cm Kanon m/40S and m/40A, S for Siam and A for Argentina) and ordered a further 20 from Bofors. The gun had a smaller version of the lavette for 10,5cm Kanon m/34 and 15cm Haubits m/39, which meant it could be deployed in sloping terrain.8,4cm Kanon m/81Caliber: 84 mmBarrel lenght: 24,6 calProjectile Weight: 6,72 kgMuzzle Velocity: 470 m/sMax elevation: 21Range: 5 900 mTraverse: N/ATrail: Single/poleGun weight in action: 1 015 kgRate of Fire: N/A (probably low due to no recoil system)Prolonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 8,4cm m/04Design: KruppWheels: Spoked woodShield: NoYear of delivery: 1881Quantity: 204 (about 150 in 1945)The old 8,4cm Kanon m/81 was still in use in some local defence units and in some fortifications during the early years of ww2. In case of an invasion in 1940, some would probably have been taken out of their mothball and would have seen use. The gun was breech loaded but had no recoil system. Landstormen raised 8 batteries and 64 single gun units (the last one mixed up with 7,5cm guns) of these guns 1940.8,4cm Kanon m/83Caliber: 84 mmBarrel lenght: 27,4 calProjectile Weight: 6,72kgMuzzle Velocity: 470 m/sMax elevation: N/ARange: 6 000 mTraverse: N/ATrail: Single/poleGun weight in action: 1 015 kgRate of Fire: N/A (probably low due to no recoil system)Prolonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: N/ADesign: BoforsWheels: Spoked woodShield: YesYear of delivery: N/AQuantity: 10Uses as a flare gun for the emplaced coastal artillery.10,5cm Haubits m/10Caliber: 105 mmBarrel lenght: 14 calProjectile Weight: 14,6 kgMuzzle Velocity: 293 m/sMax elevation: 43Range: 5 800 mTraverse: 5,5Trail: BoxGun weight in action: 1 100 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 10,5cm m/10 (charge 1-5)Design: BoforsWheels: Spoked woodShield: YesYear of delivery: 1911-12 and 1916-19Quantity: 156 (149 in 1945)The 10,5cm Haubits m/10 was a decent artillery piece when introduced. In ww2, it was already outdated, even though it was a light and agile gun, it lacked range and traverse, forcing the crew to re-position the gun often. It was the first gun that Bofors designed single-handedly. 5 divisions (batallions) were still using the 10,5cm Haubits m/10 in 1945, despite the introduction of the 10,5cm Haubits m/39 and 10,5cm Haubits m/40.10,5cm Kanon m/17Caliber: 105 mmBarrel lenght: 32,3 calProjectile Weight: 18,2 kgMuzzle Velocity: 590 m/sMax elevation: N/ARange: 11 200 mTraverse: N/ATrail: BoxGun weight in action: 2 755 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 10,5cm m/17Design: KruppWheels: Spoked woodShield: YesYear of delivery: 1917Quantity: 12 (11 in 1945)The 10,5cm Kanon m/17 was one of the few purchases that Sweden could do during ww1. The guns were used as corps artillery until 1941, when they were retired from line army service. None of my sources mention where they went, but I assume they were transferred to local defence units.10,5cm Berghaubits m/10-24Caliber: 105 mmBarrel lenght: Probably 14 calProjectile Weight: 14,6 kgMuzzle Velocity: 293 m/sMax elevation: 43Range: 8 000 mTraverse: 5,5Trail: BoxGun weight in action: 1 100 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 10,5cm m/10Design: BoforsWheels: Spoked woodShield: YesYear of delivery: 1926-27Quantity: 4, 4 in 1939, 0 in 1945The 10,5cm Berghaubits m/10-24 was the only mountain artillery in Sweden. Based on the design of the 10,5cm Haubits m/10, the 10,5cm Berghaubits m/10-24 could be broked down in several loads and transported on horseback. Extensive testing took place in the 30s, but mountain artillery was deemed as too expensive and not suitable for the Swedish terrain. Mortars were considered a better option, as they were cheaper, lighter and smaller. All of these guns were lended to Finland during the winter war and were not returned until 1944.10,5cm Haubits m/39Caliber: 105 mmBarrel lenght: 28 calProjectile Weight: 15,5 kgMuzzle Velocity: 470 m/sMax elevation: 42Range: 10 900 mTraverse: 57Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 1 985 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 10,5cm m/39Design: Rheinmetall-BorsigWheels: Spoked wood or Rubber covered aluminiumShield: YesYear of delivery: 1940-43Quantity: 142, 138 in 1945The 10,5cm Haubits m/39 was the German 10.5 leFH18 howitzer. Sweden purchased 142 of these guns from 1940 to 1943. As all other ways of importing arms were closed, Sweden bought weapons from Germany. These guns were still in service with some local defence units in the early 80s. As a design, it was considered modern and sound in Sweden, but inferior to the Bofors 10,5cm Haubits m/40.10,5cm Haubits m/40Caliber: 105 mmBarrel lenght: 18,4 cal（L22）Projectile Weight: 15,5 kgMuzzle Velocity: 449 m/sMax elevation: 45Range: 10 600 mTraverse: 60Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 1 970 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 10,5cm m/39Design: BoforsWheels: Spoked wood or Rubber covered aluminiumShield: YesYear of delivery: 1940-44Quantity: 242The 10,5cm Haubits m/40 were designed as an export gun by Bofors, and when war broke out, Sweden seized 16 guns intended for Siam (10,cm Haubits m/40S) and 16 guns intended for The Netherlands (10,5cm Haubits m/40H). In 1941, another 210 howitzers were ordered and they were delivered between 1941 and 1943. The 10,5cm Haubits m/40S had spoked wood wheels, while all later guns had solid rubber ringed aliminium wheels suitable for motor towing.10,5cm Kanon m/34Caliber: 105 mmBarrel lenght: 39,9 calProjectile Weight: 15,5 kgMuzzle Velocity: 450-785 m/sMax elevation: 42Range: 17 300 mTraverse: 30Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 4 000 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 10,5cm m/34 (charge 1-3)Design: BoforsWheels: Rubber covered steelShield: YesYear of delivery: 1934, 1936-40 and 1944Quantity: 64 (4 m/27-34, 64 m/34, minus 12 sent to Finland, 8 m/34B), 48 in 1939, 64 in 1945The 10,5cm Kanon m/34 was a modern, high-powered long-range cannon. The lavette was the same as on the 15cm Haubits m/38 and the 15cm Haubits m/39. The lavette had an innovative suspension that allowed the gun to be set up and fired in a sloping hillside, a big advantage in rough terrain. The orginal guns were part of the mobile coastal artillery (10,5cm Kanon m/27-34) but were in 1942 turned over to the Army where they, together with the 10,5cm Kanon m/34 and m/34B formed 4 corps artillery divisions (batallions). My sources does not mention if the 12 guns given to Finland during the Winter War was returned or not.12cm Kanon m/85Caliber: 117 mmBarrel lenght: 28,5 calProjectile Weight: 16,8 kgMuzzle Velocity: 475 m/sMax elevation: 35Range: 8 600 mTraverse: 2,5Trail: Single/poleGun weight in action: 2 485 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 12cm m/85Design: KruppWheels: Spoked WoodShield: NoYear of delivery: Probably 1885Quantity: 53The old 12cm Kanon m/85 were still in use in some fortifications during the early years of ww2. If Sweden had been invaded in 1940, they would probably have been taken out of mothball and been pressed into service. This was an old breech loaded gun without recoil system and hopelessly outdated, even in 1939. Still used as a flare gun for the heavier coastal artillery throughout the war.15cm Positionshaubits m/06Caliber: 149,1 mmBarrel lenght: 12,1 calProjectile Weight: 41 kgMuzzle Velocity: 300 m/sMax elevation: 43Range: 6 700 mTraverse: 2,5Trail: BoxGun weight in action: 2 150 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 15cm m/06Design: KruppWheels: Spoked SteelShield: NoYear of delivery: Probably 1906Quantity: 56, 54 in 1939, 51 in 1945The 15cm Positionshaubits m/06 was practically the only heavy field artillery available in Sweden as ww2 broke out. It was already obselete in 1939, with its low range and inflexible design, but had to soldier on in Line Army duty until after 1941, when newer howitzers finally where available in numbers to replace it. It served on, however, in local defence units throughout ww2.15cm Haubits m/19Caliber: 149,1 mmBarrel lenght: N/AProjectile Weight: 40,6 kgMuzzle Velocity: 183-422 m/sMax elevation: N/ARange: 10 400 mTraverse: 2,5Trail: BoxGun weight in action: 3 300 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 15cm m/19Design: BoforsWheels: Spoked woodShield: N/AYear of delivery: Probably 1919Quantity: 12The 15cm Haubits m/19 was used by the coastal artillery. It was a mobile artillery piece intended for coastal defence. Since coastal artillery units often joined Army manouvres and were placed under Army command during several mobilisations, one can assume that these guns would have been part of the Swedish defence against an invador, regardless of where he was coming from.15cm Haubits m/38Caliber: 149,1 mmBarrel lenght: 22 calProjectile Weight: 37 kgMuzzle Velocity: 190-503 m/sMax elevation: N/ARange: 11 100 mTraverse: 60Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 4 200 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 15cm m/19Design: BoforsWheels: Probably Rubber covered SteelShield: N/AYear of delivery: 1940-41Quantity: 16The 15cm Haubits m/38 seems to have been the fore-runner of the 15cm Haubits m/39. They used the same lavette as the 10,5cm Kanon m/34, which enabled the 15cm Haubits m/38 to be placed in sloping terrain. The 15cm Haubits m/38 served in a corps artillery division (batallion) from 1940 to wars end.15cm Haubits m/39Caliber: 149,1 mmBarrel lenght: 23 calProjectile Weight: 41,5 kgMuzzle Velocity: 580 m/sMax elevation: 65Range: 14 600 mTraverse: 45 (m/39) or 60 (m/39B)Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 2 150 kg（5 720 kg）Rate of Fire: 4-6 shots per minuteProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 15cm m/39Design: BoforsWheels: Probably Rubber covered SteelShield: NoYear of delivery: 1941-45Quantity: 113, 28 in 1939The famous Bofors 15cm Haubits m/39 was a modern, sound and effective howitzer with a good lavette that enabled it to be positioned in and fire from sloped terrain. It had a good range and a heavy shell, making it one of the best field artillery pieces available to the Swedish Army during ww2. The last guns were not withdrawn from service until 1991. At the end of the war, it equipped 6 corps artillery divisions (battalions).15,2cm Kanon m/37Caliber: 152,4 mmBarrel lenght: 43 calProjectile Weight: 46 kgMuzzle Velocity: 500-825 m/sMax elevation: 45Range: 23 000 mTraverse: 60Trail: SplitGun weight in action: 14 800 kgRate of Fire: N/AProlonged Rate of Fire: N/AAmmunition: 15,2cm m/37Design: BoforsWheels: SteelShield: NoYear of delivery:
