Theses are inert and totally safe 0.38 Smith and Wesson cartridges, all WW2 dated, but different dates, 39,40,42 and 43, but otherwise identical headstamp. The .38 S&W was named after it's designers, and developed for use as a revolver cartridge in 1877. The British military used a derivative, designating it the 'Cartridge, S.A., Revolver Ball, 380 in, MkI .38-200, with the "200" referring to the weight of the head measured in 'grains'. In 1937, this cartridge was replaced by the Cartridge, S.A., Revolver Ball, 380 in, MkII, of which these are ones, fitted with copper jacketed heads after solid lead 'dumdum' type bullets were banned.
