The 10 cm M. 14 Feldhaubitze (Skoda houfnice vz 14) was a dual-purpose field and mountain gun used by Austria-Hungary during World War I, with variations of the 14 and improved 14/19 used by several countries afterwards, especially Italy. It was a conventional design, although the first versions used an obsolescent wrought bronze barrel liner and a cast bronze jacket.[3] Later versions used a standard steel barrel.[4]
