This authentic Italian 1951 paper ammunition carton is a compact, historically interesting piece for collectors of military ordnance and post‑war memorabilia. Inside the original period paperboard carton you’ll find three metal 5‑round .303 chargers (commonly used with Lee–Enfield rifles) neatly fitted and accompanied by 15 inert .303 rounds. The carton retains clear period markings and labels consistent with early 1950s Italian military packaging, giving the set strong provenance and visual authenticity.
The chargers are solid, correctly formed metal pieces showing expected age‑appropriate wear, while each round is inert — rendered completely safe for handling and display (non‑functional and incapable of discharge). The inert rounds accurately replicate the size, casing profile and visual finish of service .303 ammunition from the era, making them excellent for museum displays, educational purposes, film/props, or living history presentations.
Compact and visually appealing, this set provides a neat cross‑section of post‑WWII ammunition logistics and British/Commonwealth small‑arms accessories in Italian service. Whether you’re building a themed display, adding to a militaria cabinet, or sourcing historically accurate props, this 1951 carton with chargers and inert rounds is a tasteful, well‑preserved addition.
