After posting my L/60 plastic Bofors I decided to show these L/70 plastic cases in Blank, Drill & Short-Range.

Red plastic Blank stamped Geco L30A1 dated 7 60. First time I see a Blank model on the headstamp.
Steel magnetic rim and non-magnetic base. Fired case.

Sweden converted red plastic Blank case to a Drill with green wood projectile. Green means Dummy/Drill.Came from Sweden c.1970's ?.
It was blue painted on the base but worn. Possibly Geco made ?

L/70 Blue plastic Short-Range possibly made by BF , Norway? All steel magnetic rim and base so different from the above bases.
