Replica 40mm L60 Bofors Round

Precision Engineering. Commonwealth Heritage.

The 40 mm Bofors L/60 became one of the most successful and widely used anti-aircraft guns of the Second World War. Originally developed in Sweden, it was rapidly adopted by Britain and Commonwealth nations, where it protected ships, airfields, armoured formations and vital infrastructure against enemy aircraft.

Alongside its high-explosive ammunition, armour-piercing (AP) rounds were developed for engaging lightly armoured vehicles, fortified positions and other hard targets when required. Their versatility contributed to the Bofors' reputation as one of the finest medium anti-aircraft weapons of its era.

This full-size collector's replica faithfully captures the distinctive profile of the 40 mm L/60 cartridge. Produced using modern 3D printing technology and finished in a metallic brass-effect cartridge case with a satin black projectile, it makes an impressive display piece for collectors, historians and enthusiasts of Commonwealth military history.

Designed for display, education and conversation, it celebrates one of the defining artillery designs of the twentieth century.
