A total of 346 were ordered and the gun was produced by [[Italian Ansaldo company|Ansaldo]] at their [[Pozzuoli]] factory. However production was slow and approximately 85 were produced by mid 1943. After Italy surrendered Germany seized as many as they could and a factory in Northern Italy continued to produce guns for the German Army until the end of the war. The carriage was [[split trail]] with four wheels which raised from the ground for firing and the gun was trunnioned under the breech to allow for maximum recoil and elevation.
