The 7.5cm Gebirgskanone Model 1911 was a mountain gun manufactured for export in 1911 by the German firm Erhardt. Nine batteries were sold to Norway. During the 1940 Norwegian campaign, a number of these were captured by the Germans, who designated them 7.5cm GebK 247(n). The crew was protected by an armoured shield.
