Product Description
Original British Kynoch .404 Jeffery sporting rifle cartridge, with the clear KYNOCH .404 headstamp.
The .404 Jeffery, also known as the .404 Rimless Nitro Express and 10.75×73mm, was developed by W.J. Jeffery for use as a powerful bolt-action big-game cartridge. It became particularly associated with African and Indian big-game hunting and was widely used for dangerous game.
Kynoch was one of the principal British manufacturers of .404 Jeffery ammunition. Collector references record examples specifically headstamped KYNOCH .404, including examples fitted with cupro-nickel-jacketed bullets.
This example has the characteristic bottlenecked, rimless case and a large nickel/cupro-nickel-jacketed projectile. The brass shows some age-related marking and tarnishing, but the headstamp remains exceptionally clear.
A particularly interesting cartridge for collectors of Kynoch ammunition, British sporting cartridges, African hunting cartridges and historic big-game ammunition.
Condition: Good collector condition with some surface marking and age-related tarnishing. Clear headstamp and attractive original appearance.
IMPORTANT: Collector/display item only. Sold as an inert cartridge and not for firing.
