Hard to say now,
15cm Schiffskanone c/28 in Morserlafette, (Naval barrel, only 8 made)
17cm Kanone 18 in Morserlafette (Germany's 'best' heavy gun, "captured examples often used by allied artillery in europe")
& the 21cm Morser 18 (one variant mounted on identical carriage to K18, precursor to that gun),
Checking in my German gear bible they all look damned near the same, based purely on what looks like a slightly stubbier barrel I reckon it's the 21cm Morser18 but as I can't really tell the difference I'll cheerfully give you the K18 Owen.

Your go.

Yup.

It was not until September of 1939 that a prototype 20mm anti-tank rifle, designed by Aimo Lahti, met with approval by the Finnish Army. This prototype was to become the Lahti Anti-Tank Rifle Model 1939 or L/39. The rifles were equipped with a 10-round magazine and were gas operated semi-automatic. There were only two weapons available for Finnish issue during the Winter War, with both being issued to the anti-tank platoon of JR-28 in the Lake Ladoga region

Will be back with a question in a bit.

I know we've had that picture on here before, can't find the damned thing though, so resorting to the bible:


1: Haft hohlladung
2: Topfmine 4531
3: Tellermine 35
4: Panzerhandmine 3
5: Tellermine 43
6: Schutzenmine 42
7: Tellermine 42
8: Schrapnellmine 35
9: Stielhandgranate 39
????

Not sure at all about the tellermines as the pics quite indistinct.
Cheers,
Adam.

Ooooooooow, you're such a showoff, Adam

Yep, all correct (as far as I can tell). The original picture's from a Army Taining manual (found here: German Mines )

Over to you, Adam
