At least 3 of them are now on display at the Fort Copacabana Museum in Rio de Janeiro, and 4 more still in use by the Brazilian Army as ceremonial guns in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Several of the original 24 purchased are still used as gate guardians or exposed at Paraguayan museums, as they served during Chaco War. At least one example is exhibited in Hellenic War Museum in Athens, Greece. A gun from Nexter collection in St. Chamond is now exhibited in the Musée des Blindés in Saumur. A World War I monument near Coligny Caserne in Orléans features this artillery piece. Mle 1919/28 is exhibited in the Amis du Musée de l'Artillerie in Draguignan.
