speed=The Canon de 75 modèle 1922 Schneider was a field gun designed by Schneider in the early Twenties. France didn't buy any as it had an enormous stock of surplus Canon de 75 modèle 1897 field guns on hand and it was offered for export. Chamberlain and Gander claim that Finland bought some and used them during the Winter War, but this hasn't been confirmed by Finnish sources.
