Whatever it is, it must be quite rare and it is great to see the images (in a good quality again).
Do you have more background info on this proj. like location where it comes from + other info?

The design of the rotating band and proj. base looks quite old. The absence of a crimp rim is also pointing to an older model.
It is a very vague estimation but could be latest 30's or even likelier WW1 - Italy - Czechia - Hungary...???

Will try to ask som other guys what they think.
If you find out elsewhere please let us know.

Hello!

I have absolutely no information on this projectile. I bought it on a muni-meeting in Budapest for about 2 EUR.

Best Regards
