40 mm Bofors AA guns made in GB and US

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Thank You!

1. Bill for information on Terry Ganders book. Very helpful. I will follow your advice.

2. John for the pictures of Crusader III and F60B. Quite interesting.

3. Here is something for Rob:

Your Bofors gun is probably Hungarian made.

38U. U = Unkarilainen = Hungarian.

The Hungarian State Railway Factory was a sub-contractor to Bofors which placed orders there.

The factory was Mágyar Allami Vaggon és Gépgvár (MAVAG)

From Hungary the guns were sent to Sweden and sold from there.

Hungarian made guns had the M 34/38 Johasz-Gamma Loelemkepzo sights - usually only called Gamma.

Rob, does your gun come with the 4-wheel carriage with two folded box-type outriggers?

If a gun is made in Bofors Sweden this mark should be found on the breech:
