Blank Bofor round Plastic !

[Gspragge]

I've never seen one of these before. It's not marked and the Zink type base seems to have
some brass re-enforcement.
I found this online - but the price to me is insane !
What might the real value be for such a fired thing ? I've never seen one before over here (Canada).
I presume late in the life of these guns.

most of the prices on that website are insane!

I was told these Bofors plastic blanks were 1960s-70s West German?

Makes sence, sort of at the end of thier useful life militarily. Maybe a few were used here too. Though
we always had troops in West Germany and being a Nato standard we may well have used them there and
this came home. It's the first I've seen so there can't be many around (certainly binned after use I would think) even if it's no where near the top end of Bofor
rounds it's still one. I have seen subcal blank types on line, all seem post ww2. I haven't seen a blank for ww2 though.
