The ammunition is presented on four black metal stripper clips, with each clip holding five cartridges. The cartridges feature brass-colored casings and copper-colored bullets, distinctly marked with red painted tips, indicative of tracer rounds. A detailed headstamp inspection reveals ‘RA’ at the top and ’40’ at the bottom, confirming the manufacturer and year of production.
