Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The Panzerfaust 100 gross ("large") or Faustpatrone (Translated literally to mean: Tank Fist Large) was the fourth version of the Panzerfaust. This was the final version produced in quantity, and was completed in September 1944. However, it did not reach full production until November 1944. It had a nominal maximum range of 100 m (330 ft). 190 g (6.7 oz) of propellant launched the warhead at 60 m (200 ft) per second from a 6 cm (2.4 in) diameter tube. The sight had holes for 30, 60, 80 and 150 m (260 and 490 ft), and had luminous paint in them to make counting up to the correct one easier in the dark. This version weighed 6 kg (13 lb) and could penetrate 220 mm (8.7 in) of armor. This model was only produced for a few months before the war ended, so they are quite rare in ANY condition, even more so in this nice collectible state.
This ingenious throw away Rocket and Launcher was one of AH's last ditch weapons adopted by the Germans to try and repel the invading Allies on both the Eastern and Western fronts.
This example has been demilitarized according to specifications by the BATF, and definitely looks to be a "battlefield pickup", probably found a year or so after the war. This was long enough to cause corrosion and wear to the paint and markings, however not enough to remove them completely, and gives it a great look. It still has the original warhead and the base with the original wooden tail and some of the original fins remaining. The original label on the warhead is partially present, and the range markings on the sight are partly present as well.
The original sight still flips up, and the trigger moves as well, though both did suffer some damage from oxidation. The trigger only pushes down a bit, as the internal components are rusted in place. The warhead also is stuck in the fin section of the rocket. Also please note the "charge retention screw" on the bottom of the launcher, which is about 7 inches closer to the rear than the trigger. If this was a Panzerfaust 60 m, they would be at the same location. Only with the 100 m with the larger charge was this screw 7 inches below the trigger.
This is a very rare example and your chance to own an original Panzerfaust 100 m inert launcher and rocket set! Ready to display!
