The gun was initially developed and produced by the French arms manufacturer Schneider, but was later built by the Putilovski and Obukhov plants in Saint Petersburg.

In the early 20th century, the French company Schneider gained a controlling interest in the Putilov plant in St. Petersburg Russia.

In July 1912 a contract was signed by the Putilovsky Plant for the production of 100 Model 1910 guns a year with a deadline of October 1917.

An additional 400 guns were ordered from the Obukhov Plant in June 1915, with a deadline of April 1919.

They were put into service by the Romanian Army, equipping heavy artillery units in the period 1920-1940.

[4] During the Winter War, 10 guns formed the 1st Heavy Artillery Battalion, but an acute shortage of ammunition forced the Finns to withdraw them from service in February 1940 and were replaced by twelve 105 K/13 guns purchased from France.
