British 6.5 x50 ammunition

Hi Tony

I assume you must be the Author of "Brisish Secondary Small Arms 1914-1919, Part 1 Arisaka Rifles & Carbine". Frank Allan recommended I get hold od a copy of your book but I have been unable to find one. You may be able to point me in the right direction.

Having filled in the form and sent photos to Frank he identified the inspectors as HIKO and SAKURA. The serial is 25188. The arsenal is Tokyo. I cannot attach pictures on this forum but I will e mail them to you

regards

Colin

British made Arisaka ammo? News to me. I was now wondering if the British were involved in supplying the Arabs with the Japanese Arisaka rifles during WW1. I recall some of the Arabs under Lawrence of Arabia were armed with them. They would have needed the ammo too. I could never find more information to validate that.
