Early Canadian .303 Dominion Cordite Mk VI Ball – DC C VI – Inert

Original early Canadian .303 British Cordite Ball Mark VI cartridge, manufactured by the Dominion Cartridge Company of Canada. The distinctive headstamp carries the DC/Dominion markings together with the Canadian government ownership symbol and VI Mark designation. Dominion Cartridge Company produced .303 military ammunition during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Cordite Mk VI Ball ammunition. The cartridge retains the characteristic long round-nosed jacketed Mk VI projectile, representing the generation of .303 service ammunition immediately preceding the pointed Mk VII. An unusual early Canadian/Commonwealth .303 variation, particularly attractive to collectors of early Lee-Enfield ammunition and Canadian military headstamps.
