Description: | [1] R broad arrow L // 17 // VII
Description: the identification of this cartridge is uncertain. It could be either a 'Cartridge SA .303 inch Rifle Grenade 30 grains Balliatite Mark I' or a 'Cartridge SA .303 inch Rifle Grenade 43 grains Cordite MD Size 41/4 Mark II'. Early production of both used Mark VII Ball cartridge cases. Both were introduced in 1917. Its legal status is also uncertain, but as it has no projectile, it would presumably fall under the category of blank or of an incomplete round.
