Re: Swedish artillery
Thanks ludvig,
I had never heard of this AA predictor from Estonia....
According to my search in the net, was patented by Karl Papello engineer in early 1930s and was bought by Sweden and Estonia...
Here, another image from the net, although I think there are some differences...

Re: Swedish artillery
I think it is 7,5 cm luftvärnskanon m/1918. See http://digitaltmuseum.se/011024418562/7 ... non-m-1918 for example.
