20mm Round - What Type?

[Darren]

Another one here for I.D, Can anyone tell me what type of round this is please?

looks like a standard 20x110 Hispano AP round, but i guess the white paint (and the aluminum insert on the base) are not original

Thanks for your thoughts, not sure about the aluminium insert, it does look to "clean" but upon close inspection it doesn't look like it has been messed with, its in there properly with the lip of the projectile base rolled over to secure it in place?

Hi Darren,
it is a AP but from the very much later series of Hispano than the case you have with it,they usually come in those LOT 1/2/3/4 81/80 20MM headstamped cases you see about,which were made by Kynock for BMARCo for export,white is the correct colour for these and I'm fairly sure these were used for 'in house' trials. The aluminium insert is also correct,which is a tube open ended at the other end,none that I have come across have been loaded with anything apart from inert 'ballast'
