This is a premium collectible box of Eley Tenex .22LR vintage ammunition, manufactured in Birmingham, England, by IMI during the late 1970s. As Eley’s flagship Olympic-grade match cartridge, this lot features the iconic orange-red cardboard “pasteboard” packaging used just prior to Eley’s permanent switch to plastic trays in 1979. The rounds feature the standard 40-grain solid lead projectiles and the legendary “E” headstamp on the base. An exceptional, high-grade display piece for vintage British target shooting memorabilia.
