37 mm cases

Hi all,

I have 2 cases that I think are cut down, but if they are, it has been done extremely nicely! Almost perfect.......

On the picture from left to right:

1 = 37 mm Bofors M1936, Sweden
2 = 37 mm Bofors M1936, Sweden with different crimp
3 = 37 mm 37x242, same rim as normal Swedish case M1936.
Stamp is a bit strange, only "37 mm" at 12-o-clock and no year or Bofors/ADK logo as normally seen on these cases. Primer is Swedish style, dated 1939.
4 = 37x249, same rim as Polish M1936, typical Polish stamp
5 = 37 mm wz36 Polish, normal length

Anybody familiair with these 2 case lengths??!!

Hi,

Here the stamps on the cases. For the Polish cases, the left one is the short one. For the Swedish it is the most right one.
