Just run across this thread cos I've been updating my own database.

The LG1 is, I think, quite well documented, and probably replaced the M101 as a field piece. The interesting one (for me) is the GIAT M1950, which according to my d/base was a development of the lfH43. However, it is much closer in calibre to the M101, so I wonder? My other suspicion is that, as there is nothing available when Googling "GIAT M1950 105mm" (this forum was top of the list), it may have been used solely on the Mk.61 SP. However, my d/base reckons that it was quite widely sold - which the Mk.61 wasn't.

Started my d/base long before I ran across SP, and it was originally entirely book-based. However, I can't give you an exact reference (didn't start keeping them till I met Don :>))), altho I suspect that a lot of my original info came from Janes Armour & Artillery 1984 - which has since turned out to be one of the least reliable Janes ever produced . . . .
