Bofors ? 37mm blank ?

[37bis]

Hello,
Who can tell me what it is?

Thank you ...

Looks like a 40 mm Bofors L/60 blank

Looks like an L60 blank. I'm sorry, the country of origin escapes me and I didn't write in on mine. Here is a L60 and a L70 blank. The L60 is the red one, left round in the first pic.

Hello,

The shape of 37bis shell is different as your red L/60.
Looks like the black one (L/70)

I agree, I bet it is an L70 blank. It appears to have some steel, aluminum or zinc in the base where my bases are all brass. Very close though.

Thank you. I also thought about the 40mm Bofors L60 or L70, but the diameter of the rim of the L60 is: 61.8mm and for the L70: 65mm.
Here the diameter of the rim is greater than 70 mm.

The actual rim diameter would help in identification, as would the length of the "case" (without projectile part).

I do not have this "shell".
For the length of the "case", I only have the photo attached to the initial post, that is, about 340mm
Sorry...

Bofors 40 mm L/80 = 40x340R73,2, looks like that one. Never heard of it myself.
