Here are some images of the red card boxes used to contain Swedish 9 mm X 19 blank rounds.
The second image shows the unusual trapezoidal shape to good effect. These boxes came to me as empty discarded boxes opened at all glued edges. It was an easy matter to glue them back into something like their original unopened condition for display.
The blank ammunition itself is unusual in that it has an actual projectile in the case.... this is made from a mixture of red plastc, resin and fine sawdust and is used in a substitute blank fire barrel on the sub machine gun. This device shreds the projectile into a fine red dust upon firing, and usually leaves everything nearby covered in a fine red sticky dust!
I should be getting some inert blank rounds soon, when they arrive I shall put them up in the relevant section.
