When I was a young collector (1960's), the Pedersen magazines, example cartridges, and canvas pouches for the device were still available.

The cartridge was a glorified pistol cartridge, shorter than the WW-2 .30 Carbine cartridge.

It is very fortunate a large scale '1919 Offensive', using the device, became unnecessary.
