I got this from out of someones junk box a while ago.
The odd thing is its 24mm.
It is a thin walled mine type shell that is missing its fuze.
The part in the case extends as far into the case as the that is not in the case.
Unfortunately its been pushed into the case so hard I can't remove it and due to the thin walls I don't want to squeeze the projectile too much!!
The case appears to be a standard 20X138/B solothurn that has been renecked, I don't think its real (there is no head stamp and it looks like the original one has been ground off).
I am assuming its for the Experimental 24 X 138/B German round.
Has anyone got any further information or specimens in their collection they can show?
Thanks.
Dave.
