Rare vintage military training rounds

Below is from Tommies Militaria
This rare and fascinating original inert 97-230 Morris Aiming Tube Cartridge
Mk II, produced by the renowned British ammunition manufacturer Kynoch,
is a significant piece of firearm history.
Designed for use with the Martini-Henry rifle, this cartridge showcases the
ingenuity of late 19th and early 20th-century military training technology.

The Morris Aiming Tube was an innovative training device introduced to
enable cost-effective practice and marksmanship drills. By inserting the
aiming tube into the .450 caliber Martini-Henry rifle, soldiers could fire
smaller and more economical .230 caliber cartridges, such as this one,
while retaining the feel and operation of the larger weapon.
This approach helped reduce ammunition expenses while honing the
shooting skills of troops during training exercises.

The cartridge is expertly crafted, with Kynoch's attention to detail evident in
its design. Deactivated and completely safe for handling, this inert cartridge
retains its original dimensions and markings, preserving its authenticity.
Its historical significance and rarity make it a coveted item for collectors of
antique ammunition, militaria, or enthusiasts of British firearms history.

This cartridge is an excellent addition to any display, providing a tangible link
to the era of British colonial expansion and the evolution of military training
methods. Whether for personal collection, research, or educational purposes,
this original inert 97-230 Morris Aiming Tube Cartridge Mk II is a true
collector’s gem.
