Product Description
Original pre-WWI British .303 Ball Cordite Mark VI cartridge, manufactured by Kynoch at Witton, Birmingham in 1911.
Clearly headstamped K 11 VI: K identifies Kynoch, 11 indicates 1911 manufacture and VI identifies the Mark VI Ball cartridge. The Mk VI used the distinctive 215-grain round-nosed full-metal-jacket projectile, giving these early cartridges their characteristic appearance.
This is a particularly attractive example with a clean brass case, bright round-nosed projectile and clearly readable dated headstamp. Dating from only three years before the outbreak of the First World War, it is an excellent example of the .303 ammunition in British service immediately before the adoption of the familiar pointed Mk VII as the standard service round.
