:D hello all :
 I Google also and found only field arttilery that were breech loaders also....www.nomanslandmilitaria.com has pics.of a neat one;it's right at the first of the search and probably the the oldest. There is also a neat one on wwwbronzecannon but you don't see much...
Now WW1 is a little new is'nt it? I mean maybe a model ...but a working one?
I'll keep looking

Look at the French 75 - designed/built before 1899!
As were quite a number of artillary pieces used in the War to End All Wars.
