Yes Stellan, my carriage I believe is a Mk1 with square folding box outriggers. The breech cover also has the Swedish B-> stamp as you describe. The rims are 8.25 R 16, and look a little too modern for the rest of the gun, it would be nice to find the original spoked type rim. There are pics of my Bofors up on another thread entitled,"Have Bofors will Travel" , if you would like to have a look. Thanks guys, great info! Cheers Rob
Good morning Rob!
(at least morning for me, 07:14 Stockholm time)

I had a look at your gun. Seems to be in very good shape. I do agree - the wheels seems to have ben changed during the guns career with Suomen Puolustusvoimat

Here is a MK I carriage. Imperial War Museum.
