Bofors sub-contractor NP?

Darkman

Well-Known Member
I have a 20 x 145R Bofors HE cartridge (for the Model 40 AA/AT gun) that has the Bofors monogram as well as a joined NP on the headstamp.
I assume that NP were a Bofors sub-contractor, but could someone please tell me who they were?

Thanks, Graeme

Darkman,

Are saying NP = ÅB Norma Projektilfabrik, Sweden and Norma produced the casing for Bofors?

Lapua also recently ('90s) made the cases for the 20mm sub cal.,very similar to this one,the base having a few differences.
