The Krupp 10.5 cm Haubitze M.12 (Romanian language: Obuzierul Krupp, calibrul 105 mm, model 1912 ) was a howitzer used by Romania in World War I. 60 were bought from Krupp before World War I. They appear to have lingered in Romanian service into World War II. Guns captured by the Bulgarians appear to have been placed into service, although they seem to have been out of service by the outbreak of World War II.
