Just found they have a 7.5cm Gebirgskanones Skoda in the Zyzkov Military Museum in Prauge.

Anyone with a picture of or knowledge of this mountain gun and the trail on it?

This is one of those Skoda export pieces they made just before and at the start of the first war. The Austro-Hungarians seized 52 of the ones being built for China and used them, while they sorted out finalization and production of the later M15 mountain guns.

I am really curious if anyone has photographs of the trail?

Was it similar to the older M99 mountain gun trail or more like a precursor to the later m15?

I found a great photo of it on the Passioncompassion14-18 website for the gun and recoil system but the trail does not show so well.

Anyone find or have anything on this artillery piece?
