Re: U-157 Identification

TK,

St.B = Steuerbord = starboard

And if it's inscribed as "U-157" then it's definitely a later non-German marking -- the Germans would have written the boat's number without the dash.

FWIW, the Canadian War Museum has a larger artifact — a 88mm/30 caliber WWI naval gun — and they aren't sure how they came by that either.

Best wishes,
Michael
