Default 25 mm AA Gun m/33

Accoding to the book "Boforskanonen" this picture should show a 40 mm m/36 gun on demonstration in Stockholm 1938.

It is however wrong. It is the 25 mm m/33 gun wich was borrowed from Bofors.

To the right in grey greatcoat HM King Gustaf V (80 yrs). In grey uniform with three stars on collar HRH Crown-Prince Gustaf Adolf (later King Gustaf VI Adolf). In the background far right HRH Prince Carl - former GOC Cavalry.

When Prince Carl tried to lay the gun the King said: "Donīt trouble yourself Carl. You donīt understand it. You are just a horseman!"
