.303 Head stamp

[jonnyc]

Latvian-contract .303 rounds up to 1941 are well known and documented. All the examples I have in my collection have a stylized V at 12:00 and a two-digit date (40, 41) at 6:00. I doubt you would find one with a post-1941 date. Hope to see a scan or pic for a positive ID.

Hi thanks for the help I've been in New Zealand since before Christmas and this is my first log on since, I should have mentioned after cleaning the date emerged as 1941 not as per my original post thanks again for the help.
