Product Description
This original inert .303 British ball round, dated 1956 and manufactured by POF (Pakistan Ordnance Factories), is a notable example of post-war Commonwealth ammunition production. Following Pakistan’s establishment in 1947, POF became one of the region’s primary military manufacturers, supplying .303 British cartridges for both national forces and newly reorganised Commonwealth units still operating .303-chambered weapons.
The “POF 56” headstamp clearly identifies this round as part of early Pakistani production, at a time when the .303 British cartridge continued to serve in rifles such as the Lee–Enfield No.4, SMLE Mk III*, and in machine guns including the Bren and Vickers. Despite the growing adoption of NATO calibres, large quantities of .303 ammunition were still required during the 1950s for training, reserve forces, and transitional service use.
Professionally deactivated to UK legal standards, this round is completely inert while retaining its full original appearance and components. Collectors value POF-marked .303 rounds for their distinctive headstamps, Cold War relevance, and representation of early Pakistani military industry. This 1956 example is ideal for display boards, post-war collection themes, or complementing Commonwealth weapon and equipment layouts
