Hi, can anyone help with the Manufacturer of this 40mm Bofor? The dates are pretty spread out, very interesting early case:
The brass case is 40/60 1929 cannot find the maker DM2 or LOS DN ??? DN2 was not operating in 1929. allegedly.
Inside the projectile date 1956
The actual projectile is a 40/70 (SX 5.55 PAT LOT 5 M!.707 LB) no idea what all that means.
The primer is 1979.
It is clearly made up of bits collected over the years, however all in reasonable nick and looks good on display. Paid far to much for it £27 still sometimes you just have to have something.
Any details will be greatly appreciated.
