20mm Flak?

[Depotman]

Can anyone confirm the i.d. of this and identify the head-stamps? Case is 20mm x 138mm. Thanks, Trevor

It was not made only for L-39 but also for any other weapon chambered for 20x138B rounds.

Well of course!

Trevor:

A picture of yours truly firing the L-39 (and yes, it does recoil quite nicely!) and rounds similar to yours in the magazine, although I think that was actually a Solothurn mag as we were firing both types at the time.

Nice round! Still did not find a shell case for this.
