Product Description
Original Second World War American .30-06 Springfield inert drill and dummy cartridge, featuring a 1943-dated Frankford Arsenal case.
The FA 43 headstamp identifies Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and the year 1943.
This example features the distinctive six longitudinal case flutes associated with American military dummy ammunition, together with an empty primer pocket and pointed copper-coloured projectile.
The fluted design allowed drill cartridges to be readily distinguished from live ammunition during military training and weapon-handling exercises.
