displayed in Oradea has serial number 394, thus the production run was likely larger. Despite the losses suffered during the Soviet Jassy-Kishniev Offensive of August 1944 most divisions at the front in February 1945 had between six and twelve 75 mm Reșița Model 1943 on hand. After the war, the gun was relegated to secondary roles, such as training, because it had a western caliber. The 75 mm Reșița Model 1943'' was used until 1998, when it was phased out. The gun was also used on the last three prototypes and the serial production vehicles of the Mareșal tank destroyer. An almost complete example, lacking optical sights, is displayed at the Romanian National Military Museum in Bucharest. Eight more are displayed in various places around the country – two each in Liberty Square in Timișoara and at the Military Museum in Iași, one on the sidewalk in front of the Military Museum in Oradea, one in the Dej Military Museum, one at the Artillery School in Sibiu and one at the Military Museum in Constanța.
