Lot 121:
A Lot of 85 Rounds of .303 British Ammunition on Clips
Sold for: $90
Description
This lot features 85 rounds of .303 British caliber rifle ammunition manufactured by the Greek Powder and Cartridge Company, recognized by the HXP headstamp. The cartridges are provided on steel five-round stripper clips, some of which are stamped with the BP marking. The ammunition utilizes brass casings that show prominent annealing discoloration around the neck and shoulder, a standard feature of military-specification production. The rounds are loaded with copper-jacketed spitzer projectiles and feature primers with a green lacquer sealant for moisture resistance. Case head markings include varying production year stamps such as 64, 68, and 82. This group of ammunition is representative of mid-20th-century Greek military production intended for use in Enfield-pattern rifles and other firearms chambered for the .303 British cartridge.
Condition report:
The ammunition appears to be in good surplus condition. The brass cases show consistent surface finish with light, age-appropriate tarnishing and minor storage marks. The copper-jacketed bullets are firmly seated and free from significant corrosion or damage. The green primer sealant remains intact across the lot. The black plastic clips are in durable, functional condition. This ammunition is sold as-is for collectable purposes and has not been function-tested.
