Links for ID #1

Its a swiss link for 20x139 cartridges used in the swiss 20mm Flab Kan 38 W+F and 20mm FM-K 38.
 
Charley, note this isn't the more common (post '60s) 20x139 round,though it does fit nicely in these links.
 
Thanks Rigby ....pity i don't have any of those cartridges in my collection.
And thanks Rob ....yes i appreciate the difference. The external dimensions are the same for the FlabK 38 (etc) and the more modern Oerlikon KAD (and Hispano-820 etc) cartridges. But the former's rim is 2.6mm thick whereas the latter's rim is 3.5mm thick.
 
The cartridges are hard to find. I have only two Dummys.
