Looks like an 20mm US/UK casing, used a lot in fighterplanes.

For me it is a german 20x138b 2cm Flak/Kwk/C 30-38 round case. 38 would be the production year, 9c for the lot batch, and P181 would be the producer: Hugo Schneider A.G., Leipzig.

Your right Carles, after looking again I must admit I am wrong.

You might have confused it with the 20mm Oerlikon 20x110. I was used as AA by the germans and on board by allies. I believe it is still used around the world.

Hi Carles,

Yes. Because of the blurry photo I thought it was an Allied firing pin
