A friend showed this item to me at a gun show last weekend and would like to identify it. No measuring tools were available but you can get a fair idea from the hands. It appeared to be about 60mm in diameter. The only markings were the "A" and "S" on the fuze. The body is steel and the fins are a die cast alloy.
It has a similar appearance to the Italian Brixia with the cast fin but much larger of course. It has a pocket in the base that could be for a launching cartridge but the walls there were very thin. Perhaps a pneumatic mortar round? Thanks for any assistance.
