That may have been repackaged ammo made in Birmingham for the Russian imperial army under a contract that followed the release of Japanese rifles from UK secondary service in about 1916.
Do they have much left over?

Is there much Japanese ammo in Finland? I have a few original Japanese and Chinese made rounds but no UK made rounds. It would be nice to add a few Kynoch rounds to the collection.
Regards
Peter.
