One Cartridge, not a box: .333 Jeffery by Kynoch of England, very early 1900’s production, with very old “K JEFFERY C .333″ Head-Stamp. PLEASE NOTE: the K looks like it is a H, but is an old English style K. K= Kynoch and the C = Cordite Powder, and loaded with a NJSP (Nickel Plated Copper Jacketed Soft Point) Projectile, non-magnetic,with 4 slices in the projectile for better explanation. The case has 3 projectile crimps. Nice patina on case, a few minor points. Uncleaned, excellent condition.
History of the .333 Jeffery, Rimless cartridge: The .333 Jeffery or .333 Nitro Express, rimmed and rimless versions were developed by W.J. Jeffery & Co and the rimmed version was introduced in 1908, and the rimless version sometime after that date.In the mid 1910’s the British War Office purchased sporting rifles from British rifle makers in the .333 Jeffery caliber for used by British snippers against the Germans, also making this a military cartridge. Both the rimless and rimmed versions are obsolete, accept for a few special runs by a few manufactures, but not in some time..
