Hello everyone,
Can anyone help with any information on this .303" blank in my collection as it has much flatter profile of the rose crimp,would this have a specific use or just a manufacturing variance? I have examples of .303" blanks dating from 1909 onwards & this is the only one I have come across,the head stamp is two broad arrows E 12 VII
As one of the broad arrows has overstamped the E(Eley) would this be a prime case(pun intended!) for a reason for a ball case being used for a blank cartridge?
Cheers Tony
