naval Very cartridge info needed.

[tigbrand]

Have just got with some later flares,a clean 1" Very cartridge, headstamp is as follows 3-30 R^L VI T/N. Any info on this cartridge appreciated. Naval issue flares seem quite scarce. Many thanks Tony.

Very

Based on the headstamp you have quoted it was made at Royal Laboratory, Woolwich in March 1930 and is a Mark VI. The "T" indicates a black powder charge and the "/N" simply indicates naval use.

Has it got a coloured top wad or a serrated rim to indicate the colour?

Regards
TonyE

Thanks for the pictures.
Could you please measure the cartridge (length an length of the head peace).
The book ive wrote is about german signal cartridges (isbn 978-3-933481-12-2). Actual im writing a book about european cartridges because of this your informations are very helpful.
