Default Dominican Republic

Hanno,

Suddenly I got exited when I realized --- the Dominican Republic Army did not renumber the vehicles. The numbers used are the original Swedish!

So the Lynx ACs offered for sale are all three of model m/39 intended for Denmark. They were armed with 2 - 8 mm HMGs in the turret.

902 delivered in Sept 1940 served with 1st Cav Regt in Stockholm. Transferred 27 Jul 1942 to 2nd Cav Regt in Helsingborg.

909 delivered in Dec 1940 served with 4th Cav Regt in Umeå. Transferred to 2nd Cav regt 27 July 1942.

912 delivered in June 1941 served with 7th Motorized Inf Regt in Ystad.

In Sept 1941 - Feb 1942 the m/39 ACs were rebuilt with 20 mm guns and redesigned m/40.

The Landsverk c/n:s were 227-235 and 303-308.
