Clearly marked “DUMMY” on the base, this round was manufactured specifically for instructional and loading practice purposes, distinguishing it from standard service ammunition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1951\"\u003eDummy rounds such as this were issued to allow safe handling, weapon training, and drill exercises without the risks associated with live or explosive rounds. As a result, they were produced in far smaller quantities than operational ammunition, and surviving examples are significantly less common on the collector market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003eThe round retains its characteristic form, with steel projectile body and copper driving bands, along with a matching case. Its size and profile give it excellent display presence, making it a standout piece in any militaria or ammunition collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2424\"\u003eThis example is completely inert and safe, with no active components. A scarce and highly collectable piece of early quick-firing artillery history, particularly desirable due to its clearly stamped “DUMMY” designation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom \u0026 Jerrys Militaria and Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49575351320895,"sku":null,"price":179.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/9263\/6991\/files\/IMG_44922.jpg?v=1775772002","url":"https:\/\/tjsmilitaria.co.uk\/products\/ww1-37mm-pom-pom-dummy-round-original-drill-ammunition-boer-war-era","provider":"Tom \u0026 Jerrys Militaria and Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
