40 mm Bofors AA guns made in GB and US

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

Hello and thanks for that picture!

I will try to have a closer look at the sights. I got the production figures from Poland yesterday. Compiling what I have got so far for the Netherlands are:

12 made in Sweden (Bofors) with Bofors m/35 FC sights
24 made in Poland (Starachowice) sights? of 40 ordered.
10 made in Hungary (Mavag) probably Gamma sights of 50 ordered.

So NL on 10th May 1940 had 46 Bofors guns. Some of these were in 1940 handed over by the Germans to Finland.

The ex-NL guns made in Sweden were m/35 and was in Finland labeled ItK/35 and nicknamed "Wilhelmina".

The Artillerie Inrichtingen were planning production of guns and already made munition - when the Germans attacked.

No Bofors guns made in Italy.

Greetings from a rainy Stockholm
