Wow, det var en del kan man säga. Kul att se att någon mer från Sverige hänger här.

Nice. I really miss the good old black powder firecrackers. I can still remember the smell after a "Pumaskott" on new years eves from my early teens. I'll try to get some pics uploaded as well soon :)

Sorry for the late reply. Here's my tiny collection of old Swedish blackpowder firecrackers including an "Airbomb 2" which was a smaller version of the famous thunder king single shot banned for Swedish consumers in the late 90s. A few years later all firecrackers was banned including all fireworks that had a report or salute as the main effect.

I really miss the old black powder firecrackers and even though I have all permits and training needed to buy and use professional fireworks it is in practice impossible to get black powder firecrackers today since no professionals use or import them :rolleyes:.

I can barely keep up with the US-market brands I collect, but here is the only label I have that might have been made for the Swedish market. Am I correct?

Are firecrackers still sold in any of the other Scandinavian countries?2831

Yes, Linders is a Swedish importer, nowadays owned by Vulcan.
As far as I know no scandinavian country offers firecrackers anymore. You have to go to germany to buy firecrackers.
I'm a lite bit jealous since you guys over there still can buy firecrackers even if the net weight of explosive is low.
