Product Description
Original early British .303 inch Mark V cartridge, manufactured by the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich Arsenal.
The base carries the distinctive R↑L Royal Laboratory marking incorporating the Government Broad Arrow, together with C and the Roman numeral V, identifying the cartridge as a Mark V.
The .303 Mk V belongs to the early development of Britain's .303 service ammunition and predates both the Mk VI round-nosed cartridge and the later Mk VII pointed cartridge that became synonymous with British service during the First and Second World Wars.
This example retains its brass case and characteristic long round-nosed metal-jacketed projectile. The cartridge displays genuine age and service/storage wear, including patination to the case and surface wear to the projectile, giving it considerable character as an early British ammunition collector's piece.
