Product Description
An original inert .303 British tracer cartridge dated 1942, manufactured at Small Arms Ammunition Factory No.4, Hendon, South Australia. The “MJ 42 G” headstamp identifies this round as Australian wartime production, with “AG” denoting a tracer loading within the .303 British ammunition series.
Tracer rounds were designed to provide a visible flight path when fired, assisting with aiming and fire correction, particularly in machine gun use such as the Bren and Vickers. These specialised rounds were produced in smaller quantities than standard ball ammunition, making them more desirable to collectors today.
This example features a painted bullet tip (now appearing white), consistent with tracer identification, though original colours can fade or change tone over time. The round is completely inert and safe for display, retaining its original brass case and projectile.
Australian-made tracer cartridges from Hendon are less commonly encountered in the UK market, and the MJ headstamp combined with tracer designation adds further collector appeal.
A genuine WW2 Commonwealth tracer round, ideal for advanced collectors or display.
