Product Description
This original inert .303 British Mk VII ball round, dated 1952 and manufactured by GB – Royal Ordnance Factory, Glascoed, is a genuine Second World War–era cartridge produced for British military forces. The “GB 52” headstamp identifies both its production year and its factory, Glascoed, which was one of Britain’s major wartime ammunition producers supplying both home defence and overseas operations.
The .303 British cartridge served as the standard small-arms round for weapons such as the Lee–Enfield No.4 rifle, Bren light machine gun, and Vickers machine gun. By 1944, Glascoed was operating at full capacity to meet the enormous demand of the final years of the war, supplying reliable ammunition to troops in Europe, North Africa, and the Far East.
This round has been professionally deactivated to UK legal standards, ensuring it is completely inert while maintaining its original components and appearance. Collectors particularly value GB-marked .303 rounds for their direct connection to British wartime production, frontline service, and historical authenticity.
Ideal for ammunition displays, WWII kit layouts, or pairing with period rifles and machine guns, this 1952 Glascoed round is a well-preserved, historically significant addition to any .303 British or Second World War collection.
