Original German WWII Inert Panzerfaust 100 Anti-Tank Rocket with Launcher – Restored & Repainted Original Items

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 NSDAPs 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 was originally in “battlefield pickup” or “battlefield dug” condition, which was somewhat delicate. It was then fully restored and repainted with period correct dunkelgelb (dark yellow) overall. There were some holes rusted through in areas, so some body filler was used to enhance the appearance. It also appears that the stalk on the bottom of the warhead had completely rotted out, so it was replaced with an aluminum tube. The inside of the rocket was also partly filled with rubber / resin to give it a weight similar to an original rocket that had not been emptied.

The original rocket base is still present, but was welded to the top of the tube to stabilize it, as it was falling apart. Looking inside the tube, we can see that the bottom of the rocket base was replaced with a solid piece to stabilize it, so there is none of the fin assembly left. The trigger and rear sight are still present and move around, however they definitely did suffer some past oxidation before being refinished. 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! Fully restored and ready to display!
