It was a slow firing gun without a recoil mechanism but with significant range and weight of the shell. Serbia ordered 17 pieces in 1897. However, only 16 were delivered in 1902. Serbia entered the First Balkan War with 15 pieces (6 batteries), since one gun was destroyed during the exercises before the war. It was used in the First and Second Balkan Wars and in the first phase of the First World War (1914-1915). Most of the surviving pieces were abandoned and destroyed before the Serbian retreat to Albania. Bulgaria also ordered this type in 1897, and received 24 pieces and used them in the Balkan and First World Wars. Serbian type (L/26) and Bulgarian (L/28) were slightly different in respect of the breech lock while in other aspects they were identical.Schneider-Canet 120mm 1897_Serbia https://www.bulgarianartillery.it/Bulgarian%20Artillery%201/Schneider-Canet%20120mm%201897%20Serbian.htm 2021-02-08 www.bulgarianartillery.it References Category:120 mm artillery Category:Artillery of France Category:Artillery of Serbia Category:Artillery of Bulgaria Category:Schneider Electric Category:World War I guns
