The Canon Court de 105 M(montagne) modèle 1909 Schneider (105 mm mle.1909) was a French mountain gun, manufactured by Schneider et Cie. According to Kennblätter fremden Geräts, Germany used the former French gun as the 10.5 cm GebH 343(f). The gun could be towed by a horse or mule.[1]

According to Russian sources the 105 M Mle 1909 was evaluated in the autumn of 1915, and sent to the Putilov Works in 1916 to be modified for further testings and in order to meet Russian specifications, but ultimately it was never accepted into service and the gun remained in storage until the late 1980s before it was scrapped.[2]
