          After a work of some years, I have finally published my site about Bulgarian artillery (www.bulgarianartillery.it), developing and correcting what I have published here year after year. Of course without the continuous assistence of the members of this site I never could make it. Thanks for everybody. Since my knowledge and my skill is very limited, every suggestion, correction and addition is welcomed.

          Best, Marco

          Good start,but very basic, short and with misses .Lets hope that everything will go Up soon!

          for the record--if we asume that this area is not explored -the site is Shamefull for the great part of our Historians(proffesional ones),and Pridefull for his autor


          For PrimaVista ---

          The information about this weapon was very scarce. The list of Bulgarian weapons at the beginning of the war against Turkey shows also 30 бомбохвъргачки, that might be these minethrowers
          These Minetrowers -the 30 pieces are Capt. Velichkov`s "72mm Bombova Mortira-M1906"with Elecric-trigering mechanism. It can fire 8 bombs at the same time -covering the target with check-mate carpet of bombs---This kind of firing was used only in WW2 by Germans(nebelW) and Russians(BM13)

          One of Our Bulgarian genius findings and Devices!

          here is the Pic--from my Research of this question:

              I'm looking for informations about two big guns nicknamed Adam and Eve, that were placed during the WW1 near Burgas. I would like to know wether they were operative, since I read that they were without breech-block, but I was not able to understand when they were removed (during the war by the enemy, or after the war by the Allied Commission for the disarmament of the Bulgarian army)?
              If I understood correctly they were two 150mm L/40 Krupp guns. Are they the same guns displayed in the Varna naval museum?

              My garandfather spoke about two big guns "Adam and Eve" in Bitolja front (Macedonia) in 1916. He was soldier in 23 Schiptcenski Infantery Regiment and these guns support the infantery.
