The Dutch firm Siderius was, in between the world wars, a façade for the German Krupp company, who had been forbidden to produce weapons. However Siderius, in contrast of the other façade companies , did not draw weapons, it was dedicated more to the modernization of the material Krupp of the Dutch army, producing three versions of the cannon model 1903, all still in use in 2a War, as much in Holland as in the colonies of the Pacific. The parts of model 02/04 captured by the Germans, had been used in the coastal defense.
