40mm adl

[DEADLINE222]

I have a 40mm Bofors projectile that reads 40MM ADL followed by plenty of numbers and letters.

Any idea of the age and use of this projectile?

Would you mind to give us the full markings and colors?

No paint, however years ago it may have been red primer.

7.250" long with fuze

Hold your breath......

Seems your's was made by "ASTRO DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY INC" and "SOLAR FLAME INC" (wonder what the second one did, maybe the rotating band?)
