Eley Gastight Cartridges


Recommended Posts

They were the premium end of the Eley product range whereas the Grand Prix was actually the low end of the range. The cheapest of their catalogue yet nowadays people ascribe to it a quality that it never would have been merited back when the Gastight and etc. were produced.

LOVELY, can you show the head stamp, if it has ICI they will be pre 1963

The stamp is Eley Kynoch, they came with some impact dated 1975 and some Grand Prix dated 1965
