I've had this since the late 80s or early 90s. I can't figure out what it is. Nothing special but I'll probably try to restore it. It's a BT20 6 5/8 inches, three fins, streamer recovery, 18mm engines. Of course I didn't paint it factory. Just quick and easy for a launch. It's too short to be the Wizard.

I'm no expert, but those definitely look like Wizard fins. Soooo I'm going to guess it's a.....shortened Wizard (possible due to some upper body tube damage?).

Hmm. Maybe. It's definitely not a standard size tube at that length. Dang though, I look at it and it's hard to tell if it's been cut down.
 
Spitfire222, your answer must be the correct one. One of the last times I launched for a bunch of kids in the 90s, I had a lot of damage by the recovery teams. They were very competitive about getting to the rockets first. Some of the rockets were crushed because they'd get stepped on.
