I do not have a Ishapore rifle.

I do however have a sealed box of ammunition with an adhesive band announcing

32 [each]

Cartridge

.303 inch

Mk 7

(upward arrow symbol)

C. I. A. [chief inspector ammunition]

P. O. F. [Pakistan Ordnance Factory]

I was remembering - incorrectly - this was from Ishapore, but the factory is in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

I bought this ammo in a retail shop a couple years ago. Sold as surplus shooting ammo, I thought it would fit in with my Enfields. I doubt if it's something rare. Thought I'd share the silly.
