    It’s wonderful that you are preserving it. Maybe there will more interest in the future and it can be restored. You are doing the best you can for now.

    Thank you for the great pictures.

    Hi Vincent! Thanks!
    These bofors are very well preserved and whitout corrosion!

    Are the Argentineicon Models 37mm, or 40mm? I know Canadianicon Bofors were in 40mm, but some European models were in 37mm. Nice job on the restoration.
