The markings on it are as follows

RKT 66 MM HEAT

FUZ 2.12 RA 3/73

12B RA 3/73

A picture would be easier, but i'm quite sure its a LAW M72 you've got.
Rockets for it are a rare find.

Hi P


Your rocket launcher is a Norwegian copy of the famous American rocket launcher, the M72.

''RKT'' stands for the Norwegian word ''rakett''.
The rocket launcher was made by a company called Raufoss Norvege (short ''RA'') in Norway.

It's a pretty rare find on the mainland of Europe, but a few pop up once in a while in the UK.
15 gpb was a good price. I'd gladly pay 50 gbp for it. I know another BOCN member paid 105 gbp for it.

Congrats on your find/purchase!

That was me who bought that recent one! It was 90 in the end, my mistake, 15 was for postage. Never mind, I have one now so job done. Nice looking tubes though. Think I may mount it on my wall when the wife goes out
