    Cartridge, Blank, Cal. 30. M1903

    Picked up this 30.03 blank cartridge today at a local gun show for $1.
    The bullet is made of paper and filled with 5 gr. of powder. Casing is tinned like the early 30-40 Kragicon cartridge. Head is stamped "FA 6 05" The earliest 1903 cartridge in my small cartridge collection.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I think they were 1905, but I will have to find them to be sure.
