mutley Posted 18 March , 2014 Share Posted 18 March , 2014 Hi picked this up on the battlefield today and wonder if anyone can identify it from the marks on it, a bullet which appears to be .303 or perhaps 7.92 in calibre with the following on the base of the actual head of the round: ECP R 307 many thanks Mutley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyE Posted 18 March , 2014 Share Posted 18 March , 2014 It is the bullet from a French 8 x 50Rmm Lebel round. It was made at the Ecole Centrale de Pyrotechnie de Bourges (ECP) with metal supplied by Rugles, Usine de Trefilerie et Laminoires du Havre ( R ) in the third quarter of 1907 (3 07).
