A nice gift from a local collector.

A 20 x 80RB MG-FF case,not in the best condition but these aren't very common in this part of the world!

cheers ,Bob.

WOW is there any history on that one? Obviously its gone pop in a way it shouldn't. Could it have been in a fire?

As far as i know ,no tale to tell.
Looks like its been subjected to some traumatic happening,no evidence of fire ,though possibly detonation on impact?
Still has the primer seal colour,on unfired primer.
Does anyone else have anything similar?

cheers ,Bob
 
Looks like this case comes from a aicraft crach.
We found several cases like this one.
 
This is a Italian 20mm Breda AA cannon round that has been in a fire ? i picked it up last year on a auction site
