20mm Becker(20x70rb) ,HE projectile.Nice condition.
WW1 aircraft mounted and land based anti-aircraft.
A forerunner of the aircraft mounted cannon armament.
Considering its relatively little use ,surprisingly common in NZ,i guess because the light fingered NZ servicemen could easily pocket(ie,souvenir) them from crashed aircraft.
If it needs a new home i could make some space for it..;)

cheers
Bob
