Designed for use in British service revolvers such as the Webley and Enfield .38 calibre revolvers, this cartridge represents standard British sidearm ammunition issued to the armed forces throughout the 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eBetween 1930 and 1937, .380 revolver ammunition underwent several developments. Early production cartridges were fitted with an antimony-hardened lead bullet, which strengthened the projectile compared with pure lead and improved durability during handling and firing. These early loads were part of the continued use of the Mk I style projectile used in British service revolvers during the inter-war years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eLater improvements resulted in the Mk II loading, which featured a copper-nickel (cupronickel) jacketed bullet. This design reduced barrel fouling and provided more consistent ballistic performance, becoming the more widely adopted wartime standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1940\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe brass case features the RL headstamp and 1935 date, placing it firmly within this transitional development period. The cartridge has been completely deactivated and rendered inert, making it safe for collectors, display, or educational purposes. It is a desirable example of British inter-war military revolver ammunition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Tommies Militaria and Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56883217531255,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/9263\/6991\/files\/IMG_3758_471f3c7d-2499-4241-a186-4b38cf3fcc52.jpg?v=1773694353","url":"https:\/\/tommies-militaria-and-collectables.myshopify.com\/products\/380-inert-british-1935-dated-webley-revolver-brass-cartridges-rl-royal-laboratory","provider":"Tom \u0026 Jerrys Militaria and Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
