Cool! What would be the approximate date of the ammunition, and was it stored for a time in South Africa?

It has seen some adventures I would gather!
In remarkable condition, even the case is in magnificent order.

As G.Gibbs’ address is given as 39 Baldwin Street, Bristol 1, the ammo was supplied between 1931 and 1940.

because .256 Gibbs was never a factory caliber question is who made the alteration and what was done with the magazine. in the end they have to build the inner parts complete new .
