Swedish 8mm Ammo Poster

[Andy]

A score from eBay last Fall that I am just getting around to sharing. From Sweden, dated 1942, in mint shape, a real prize for a Swede collector like me.

This is 1/72 scale - the poster is about 2' x 3'. Enjoy.

Very cool.

That must have been one hell of a scanner.

Neat.
Are those spade grips on a 1919? (third gun from the left)

Nice Find Indeed.... I want one...

Looks like some funky grip with the trigger at the top. It would be interesting to see an original 8x63 1919

Is it printed on paper or a reinforced cloth? Looks nice!

It's on poster paper.

I have a correction thanks to a friendly translator:

"Plansch 42"= poster n.o 42. It's an edition from 1947. In the lower left corner you can read that the poster can be ordered from "Försvarets Kommandoexpedition" in Stockholm.......maybe out of stock today.

8x63

So do you know what the colored tips represent?

L to R - Tracer? , AP?, ? , Tracer (white tip), Tracer (red tip), Ball

 

[Andy]

By colour I believe that they are:

Silver - Ball
Red or White - Tracer
Orange - Incendiary
Black - Armour Piercing
Green - usually Dummy

 

[Missing Something]

Have you had your poster translated?

Just from the looks of the poster....

Silver (plain) & Blue look like ball
Red & White = tracer
Black = AP
Orange/Red = API
