Product Description
Original inert .303 British Mk VII cartridge with RL 17 headstamp, manufactured in 1917 by the Royal Laboratory, Woolwich Arsenal, London during the First World War.
The RL factory code identifies production by the historic Royal Laboratory at Woolwich, one of Britain’s principal government ammunition facilities during WW1. The 17 date places this cartridge in the middle of the Great War when British ammunition production was operating at maximum capacity to supply the Western Front and other theatres of war.
The Mk VII loading was the standard British .303 military service cartridge issued for the SMLE Lee-Enfield rifle and extensively used in Vickers and Lewis machine guns throughout WW1.
Royal Laboratory headstamped rounds are highly collectible and form an important part of British military ammunition history.
