The Canon de 105 modèle 1930 Schneider was a field gun used by the armies of Greece, Denmark, and Poland during World War II. It shared a carriage with the Canon de 155 modèle 1929 howitzer. It used the cumbersome Schneider-trademark spade plates that had to be hammered into the ground to anchor the gun in place.
The German Army designated these guns 10.5 cm Kanone 310(g) and 10.5 cm Kanone 321(d) respectively, but it is unknown if they actually used them themselves.
