Hey guys:

Found this amongst my Grandfathers belongings. Looks like a cleaning kit or tool kit of some kind. Says AGm/42B on it. Would this belong to a Ljungman? Would it have any value? Oh, what the heck is it?

Thanks

Jason

  redlantrn,
  
  You don't really need the verbiage but if you really want to know what it says just search for a free translator that will do Swedish.
  
  The important line states:
  
  'Accessories bag ag m/42b'
  
  The rest talks about the rifle development and problems with the design and 'Ag thumb'.
  
  Best.

  Appears to be the standard maintenance tools issued with the ljungman. Lot of that stuff came in as surplus in the 80's/90's time frame. Swede military rifles are very collectable, bunch of forums on the net devoted to them. Post to the one on Gunboards, to see if the kit has any collectors value.

  When you guys go to a different language website, have you tried to right click on the page? If you get a line that says "page info", put your curser on it and it may say "translate into english" Bob
