Can anyone identify this 20mm round for me please? The case length is 121mm and the proj., if it is original to this case, is similar to an Oerlikon shell. The rim is thick, similar to a Madsen but there is no headstamp. There are no markings to the fuze or proj.
any thoughts!

thanks Dave

Yes, I was of the same view apart from the absence of headstamps - I don’t recall ever seeing a standard Madsen without a headstamp
