Bofors Practice projectile

[Gspragge]

This came in today. I don't chase these, but the price was right and I like the original
paint. I also don't see these around, just examples with no paint or badly worn HE.
It came in a 1942 U.S. case so I will have to find a more correct RL case for late 1940
or early 1941 if I'm lucky. The stampings on the body under the paint are very difficult
to read.

Very similar to a L/70 I have which is 54 dated. There should be a left handed base fuze at the bottom which is plugged off on yours. The one i have on mine is a rep one.

Mine corresonds to the upper left example, if it had a tracer the symbol for that would have been on the projectile,
but it's non tracer and plugged instead to be totaly inert.
