Product Description

Original Second World War American .30 M1 Carbine cartridge manufactured in 1944 by the Western Cartridge Company at its East Alton factory in Illinois, USA.

The clearly stamped WCC 44 headstamp identifies the manufacturer and year of production. Western Cartridge Company was part of the Olin organisation and a significant supplier of small-arms ammunition to the United States military during WWII.


International Ammunition Association+1

 

The .30 Carbine cartridge was introduced alongside the American M1 Carbine, a lightweight semi-automatic firearm widely issued to US forces during the Second World War. It was particularly associated with airborne troops, officers, vehicle crews and support personnel.

This example retains its brass cartridge case, copper-coloured round-nose projectile and distinctive red primer sealant. The case displays an attractive aged patina with light surface marks consistent with its age.

An original 1944-dated American military cartridge, ideal for a WWII ammunition or M1 Carbine headstamp collection.
