Picked this 20x82mm up at a local gun show seller had no idea what it was, although far from being pristine still a good deal for $5.

Do they really sell for that much in the USA? You can find them at shows here in the UK being sold by UK and European dealers for around £10 to £20 depending on condition.
 
Quite a few have been released into the US market recently. So, they can be had for less than $50 currently.
 
My understanding is that it's fairly tough to ship ordnance internationally due to the political climate these days. I know the German 20mm flak rounds are more common here than the one posted. And I think a lot of stuff that is common here like are 20mm and 25mm rounds are not that common across the pound.
 
Minengranate Zerleger.

HE highcapacity with selfdestruction.

Quite common on the east side of the pond, 15,- to 20,- euro's depending on condition.

It might be live if the fuze is not removeable. I see the case has been drilled, so that probably was emptied.
