- Casing it is Greek and translates Machine Gun Armstrong 47mm" dates 1913
- Nose is a little smaller than 2' and has a rounded brass fuze with the markings shown in the pics.. with 2 dates 5/37 and 7/39
- Relics 2cm German Flak
- I suspect Czeck Pak 36 (3 brass barrel bands)

Pictures 2,3,4 & 5 are of a British No. 243 or 246 sensitive nose fuze on a 2pdr shell - it looks LIVE! Depotman

I believe you will find its a no 241 Mk I as can be seen in the second picture. And yes it looks suspect so contact the authorities if not already done.
 
No worries on that... they are actually in a controlled environment and not allowed to leave the place...
Just had the luck to see them!
Its a spent shell missing the very top and inside you can see almost the bottom...

There where also some kind of links, made from metal and looked quite big... which now makes me think it was for pom pom rounds..
Interesting..

At first look I would say the three banded projectiles are 3,7cm german SK C/30 projectiles, but they seem to be too large compared with the 2cm rounds.
Any ideas?
