Product Description
This original inert .303 British Mk VII ball round, dated 1940 and headstamped “KF”, was manufactured by Kirkee Arsenal (Indian Government Ammunition Factory, Poona / Kirkee) — one of the key ammunition factories in British India. The “KF 40” headstamp clearly identifies its production year and the Kirkee facility, which produced .303 cartridges for the British and Commonwealth forces for decades.The .303 British cartridge was widely used in service rifles and machine guns, including the Lee–Enfield No. 4, Bren, and Vickers. In 1940, Kirkee Arsenal was operating under significant wartime demand, supplying allied forces in Southeast Asia and other British Empire theatres. forum.cartridgecollectors.org+1
This round has been professionally deactivated to UK legal standards, ensuring it is completely inert yet retains its original casing, bullet, and primer. Its connection to Kirkee makes it particularly interesting to collectors of Commonwealth, colonial, and wartime ammunition.
Ideal for display boards, ammunition collections, or historical setups, this 1940 KF round offers a tangible link to British Indian munitions production during the Second World War.
