WWII 20mm round

Type-14

Member
[FONT=&amp]Made from a U. S. 20-mm Mk 2 (20X110RB) dummy round. Round was made by the International Silver Co, Meriden, CT in 1943. The USMC Eagle Globe and Anchor (EGA) is correct for the period, most likely from a tie pin (tack). Round has been made into a cigarette lighter and with a flint that still works, just add the lighter fluid and it would function today as it may have back then.
