Product Description
This inert .303 British cartridge is a genuine 1914-dated round produced by Kynoch, one of Britain’s most important ammunition manufacturers during the early 20th century. Marked with the clear “K 14” headstamp, this cartridge represents the very beginning of the First World War, when Britain rapidly expanded ammunition production to supply millions of Lee-Enfield rifles entering service on the Western Front and beyond.
Correctly deactivated, the round features a struck primer and contains no propellant, making it fully inert and safe to own within the UK. Its brass case exhibits the classic early-war .303 profile used in the SMLE Mk III rifle, the standard British service rifle at the outbreak of WWI. Ammunition from this period often shows slight variations in manufacturing characteristics, reflecting the rapid wartime scaling of production.
Collectors value early WWI-dated Kynoch cartridges for their age, historical importance, and comparatively lower survival rate compared with later WWII examples. A 1914-dated round makes an excellent addition to any Lee-Enfield display, trench collection, or ammunition headstamp reference set, offering a tangible link to the earliest months of the Great War.
