Product Description
This original inert .303 British Mk VII ball round, dated 1940 and manufactured by KF (Indian Government Ammunition Factory, Kirkee), represents an early wartime example from one of the British Empire’s important colonial factories. The headstamp clearly displays the “KF 40” marking, identifying both its manufacture date and Kirkee’s role in supplying ammunition to British and Commonwealth forces across multiple theatres.
Produced at the outset of the Second World War, 1940-dated Kirkee rounds were part of the Empire-wide expansion of munitions as Britain mobilised. These cartridges were issued for use in Lee–Enfield rifles, Bren light machine guns, and Vickers machine guns, contributing to the small-arms stocks used in Europe, North Africa, and the Far East.
This example has been professionally deactivated to full UK legal standards, retaining original components and appearance while being completely safe for handling and display. Collectors prize
