    It doesn't look like it's there. That looks like maker data and could the 3 be a 9?
    I have a couple of books at work that would tell me the manufacturing plant from that info, but I'm not there right now. If you could publish a close up photo of the cartridge, either myself or someone else may be able to ID it for you.

    The closest I can come up with is just CG "Bofors Carl Gustaf AB, (Formerly FFV F?renede Fabriksverken), Van?sverken, Karlsborg, Sweden (and since 1998, NAMMO Van?sverken. Carl Gustaf name is no longer used, but "CG will continue to be used as a headstamp)". But I think I can fill in some more, ST is a steel case (try touching the case with a magnet), and 41 would be the year of production. 13 I don't know, unless it's a 19 as previously suggested.

    Dimentions would help, bullet diameter and case (only) length being the most important numbers to know
