20 mm Swedish

[Chris]

I have a 20 mm Swedish projectile with the following markings

m/42 C
SKF
1404
HO
a crown (see picture)

AR

Found the item in a Swedish book and it says slpprj m/42 C
Also think that the prj stands for projectile; the first p for AP but what does sl means something to do with a tracer ????

I also would like to know what the markings mean

Chris,

Sprljuspansarprojektil slpprj ( for whatever that means)

 

[Western]

Turns out to be " Anti-Tank Shot "

I have three similar-looking Swedish projectiles in three different cases: 20x110 Hispano (the gun was used by the Swedish AF, also some Bofors aircraft guns used the same ammo); 20x144R Bofors, and 20x180R Carl Gustav RCL rifle. Did they all use the same AP projectiles?

Yes they did.

Actually it means (and is): AP-T
