Identification Help Needed

John P

Well-Known Member
I'm in need of some help identifying this.

P4010047.jpg
Approx sizes are

Length - 139.83mm
Body dia - 25.03mm
Head/base dia - 28.79mm
Brass nose - 32.52mm
Brass base 12.43

It's body is steel (magnetic) with a brass nose piece and base. There is a small hole where a percussion cap would go but it's too small and only about 1-2mm deep but other than that no other markings. Not sure if it's mock up of something, any ideas?

Regards

John P

Hello,
Could it be a dummy/drill round for old 25mm ? (Nordenfelt gun ?)
Maybe you could post other better pictures with details.
Regards

As promised here are a couple more photos of the item I'm trying to identify. Hope someone can help.

As indicated before there are no markings which I can find so I think it may be a mock up of an actual round or a made up item.
