20mm Projectile

Snufkin,
Many thanks for that information; most helpful.
I was not sure if the projectile was British, as its length (71mm) is shorter than "our" projectiles. This one has a sharp pointed tip, and is painted black with a blue band just below the ogive. Weight is 137 grams. I suspect it may be a trial core for AP tests, although it does not have the notches to fix the cap that was used on the Mk.II AP.
Roger.
