Odd ammunition

   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.
