    Question on A 20mm shell

    Greetings, I recently acquired this one from a small Veteran group. I first thought it was a standard 20mm round that the GI had nickeled. Upon closer examination it is made from one piece of metal. It also never had a primer. So my guess is it some type of training round? Many thanks in advance to all of those that reply.

    It has a nice WaA 109 with H 40 and a maker mark?

      It is a drill round used either for training or for dry fire the weapon. Nice one.

          Yes, it's true, I stand corrected. I meant to say it is a dummy round.
