LUCKYSTRIKE, your "0" looks, from the photo, to be next to a "2" and "mm", I know this sounds silly but can you measure across the center of the rim for me?
Cheers, it might help identify the shell, Simon.
As a note I've just found an "ST" marked 20mm shell on the web, not much info, but here's the link:-

The spark plug is a American AC sparkplug. They also made .50 calibre Browning M2AC and M2HB guns.

ST is usually found on 20mm cases made at ROF Steeton, Yorkshire.
All the best,
PB

Many thanks,

I found this quite intresting so I did 5 minutes of diging on line and Manford L foltz is still alive as far as my research reveals.
I also have a phone number and address, it must be him as everything fits. Would you like the details off via pm?
