licence, and unless he also produces and delivers to the
seller a permit in the form E in the Schedule hereto signed
by a gazetted police officer authorising the purchase of
such ammunition and specifying the quantity and descrip-
tion thercof:

Provided that the production of a licence shall not be
required where the permit to purchase is endorsed by the
