The 10.5 cm leichte Feldhaubitze 16 (10.5 cm leFH 16) was a field howitzer used by Germany in World War I and World War II. The 10.5 cm leichte Feldhaubitze 16 was introduced in 1916 as a successor to 10.5 cm Feldhaubitze 98/09, featuring a longer barrel and hence longer range. It had the same carriage as the 7.7 cm FK 16.

The 10.5 cm leFH 16 was a German light field howitzer used in World War I and World War II. It was designed to replace the older 10.5 cm leFH 98/09, which had a shorter barrel and a lower muzzle velocity. The leFH 16 had a longer barrel, a higher muzzle velocity, and a longer range. It could fire a variety of shells, including high-explosive, shrapnel, smoke, gas, and illumination.
The leFH 16 was mounted on a box trail carriage with wooden spoked wheels. It had a horizontal sliding breechblock and a hydro-pneumatic recoil system. The leFH 16 was widely used by the German Army and its allies during both world wars. It was also exported to several countries, such as Turkey, Finland, and Spain. The leFH 16 was considered to be a reliable and effective weapon for its caliber and role.

This is not a German 105cm lFH1916. This is a much rarer 10,5cm lFH Krupp 1916. The two howitzer types share almost nothing in common. Notice the barrel bands on the 10,5cm lFH Kp. 16 verses the typical lFH 16 and the lack of axel tree seats on the 10,5cm lFH Kp. 16 :
