    In 1939-40 there were a import of 9x19 ammunition from Germany. It might of been intended for the Walter P38 that was bought and designated Pistol m/39.

    This cartridge is made during 1941 and does not have the seal of the neck and primer of the case. I do not know if this is because Sweden had not started with the seal yet. This is probably a first year Swedish production cartridge.

    This is another m/39 produced during WW2. Here the case is made of brass plated steel. They have also skipped the seal of the neck and primer.
    This ammunition is manufactured 1942 and is made with a case of brass plated steel. This ammunition is of less quality than the ones made with brass cases, and has a short storage time. The boxes are marked with a use before date, and the ones I have seen and heard of had a use before date of about a year.
    This is a war time cartridge, made up when there was a shortage of brass, and I have only seen them made between the years 1942-1944.

    This cartridge is produced by Winchester and is imported from USA in the beginning of 1940. It has a bit more powder than a standard 9x19 cartridge, and is not suitable for pistols of this time. The intention must of been to use it in the submachine gun 37-39 that was introduced 1939.

    This is a sk ptr m/39 as of standard. It has been used to a large quantity of Swedish pistols and submachine guns. The projectile on the picture has a jacket of tombac.
    The V12,5 value is for pistols. For a submachine gun the value is some 30-50 mps higher

    This is a trancitional ammunition with a m/39 projectile and typical identifying grean seal, but in a case with a headstamp of a m/39B. That is, a headstamp without the typical double "//" to be found a 2, 4, 8, 10 a clock.

    It has been found with two different headstamps, this cartridge from 1957 and factory 027, and also 1958 and factory 26.

    E.K who informed me of this cartridges pulled a projectile to double check and found the projectile to be a m/39, not a m/39B. The bottom of the projectiles has different shapes.

    Courtecy to E.K of Sweden for the beautiful images and the information, and to Morten Stoen for aditional information and confirmation.

    m/39B is the 9mm ammunition used today. It was delivered in the beginning of 1955. It has a extra ordinary thick jacket that prevents it from deforming easily, and that makes it better in penetrating hard targets. Some examples: It goes through 50 layers of kevlar or 20 cm of wood or 7 cm of brick. The jacket of the projectile also leads to a higher tear and wear on the weapon. Some figures point at up to 25% higher wear on the barrel when using m/39B ammunition compared against normal 9x19 ammunition e.g. m/39.
    The V0 value mentioned above is for submachine gun m/45. For a pistol the value is some 40mps lower.

    This cartridge is intended for training indoors with Pistol 88.
    The cartridge is of a hollow point design, but my guess is that it is a lock base were the hollow point is just a rest of the manufacturing, it has no holow point/expanding capability.
    The full designation of the cartridge is 9MM sk ptr m/39 övningsprojectil 11, translated to 9mm training projectile 11.
    The cartridge is manufactured by factory 645 Sellier & Bellot in 2011.
