Product Description
Original Second World War American .30 M1 Carbine cartridge bearing the PC 43 headstamp, identifying manufacture in 1943 by the Peters Cartridge Company at Kings Mills, Ohio, USA.
Peters was a historic American ammunition manufacturer whose Kings Mills facilities contributed to the enormous expansion of US small-arms ammunition production during the Second World War.
The .30 Carbine cartridge was developed for the American M1 Carbine, adopted by the US military in 1941. The lightweight carbine was widely issued to American troops, including airborne personnel, officers, vehicle crews and support units, and saw extensive service throughout WWII.
This example retains its original-style brass cartridge case and copper-coloured round-nose projectile, together with a distinctive purple primer annulus. The case exhibits an attractive aged patina and minor surface marks consistent with its age.
The clearly visible PC 43 headstamp makes this a representative example of American wartime ammunition manufacture and an interesting addition to a WWII US military cartridge or headstamp collection.
