German 77 mm Model 1916 field artillery piece on display outside RCL Branch 110 in Trenton.
The piece features an extended barrel typical of later versions, but still retains its all-steel wheels. Breech markings indicate a Krupp factory casting of 1918.
The piece has been maintained and is still reasonably intact almost 100 years after the war ended.
