British Cold War Service Box of .380 Revolver MK2z Revolver Rounds. 19116. British Cold War Service Box of .380 Revolver MK2z Revolver Rounds. 19116. Hunting Rounds

In 1921 a new revolver was submitted to the British army by Webley & Scott Ltd. This was a .380 calibre revolver. This gun was considered a valuable reduction in weight compared to the existing .455 Webley revolver. But the small arms committee had their doubts about the lack of stopping power of this new .380 Enfield round. Several tests were conducted over a longer period. It took until 1930 before the .380 Enfield revolver was issued to the armed forces. It was used in the British Army from 1937, and also by the Singapore Police Department. The Cardboard boxes are dated ’28.3.52’. There are 15 boxes of 12 rounds inside the service box. The service box still retains its wire handle with original cuff. The box is dated ‘RL 28.8.52’ (Royal Labs 28th Aug 1952). *The price is £45 per box of 12 rounds* the service box is priced at £120. In good condition for its age, and a good collectors item. Price includes UK postage. 19116.
