Hello

I have seen this case, but if i can identify the brass german 20mm , i do not know the steel case shown.

Who has an idea ?

i suppose the caliber is 20mm ..

perhaps a modern NATO ammunition.

It looks suspiciously like a german ww2 steel belted 213/20 case but i could be wrong?
 
That's a very nice case kz11gr.
The following link gives some details about the Mauser 213/30 and the Mauser 213/20 plus the Aden 30/20 cartridges (made of brass) that were developed from the Mauser.
I don't have the belted version of the Mauser 213/20 but the non belted version is shown.

Dave.

Thank you Dave

My first impression was that it's a post war french fabrication from the German 213/20 , with some modifications.

But may be post war U.S too ...
