Glad you like the 25pdr.This is my best Panzerscrek rocket, with a separate igniter shown.The wires which were originally longer, terminated in a plug, that was taped to the tail fin of the rocket.This was then removed and plugged in prior to firing, but I have never seen one in the flesh, I'm assuming they were made of wood as they were discarded after the rocket was fired.Also looking for a fuze for this British Mk2 anti tank mine, don't even know what I'm looking for!

The fuze used with this mine is "anti-tank mine fuze Number 1 mk1 ,
and ive just found other references saying No1 mk2
theres some photographs of the fuze here on Harrys website

Thanks spotter, at least I know what to look for now,if I find one is another matter.

The butterfly bomb always generates a lot of interest.

A Panzerscrek rocket..........I would love to add one to my collection. I have not seen one for sale in along time. Well nothing worth getting all the "dug" just just dont do it for me.

Hi Phoenix
That is truly an amazing collection you have.

The panzerscrek and box is fantastic. Has the box got any labels or internal parts?
I have posted some pictures for you. In No.[3] the plug is labeled as wood.
Hope this is of some help.

Thanks for the Panzerschrek pictures, the info is really useful.I've had the rockets about 5 years, one has it's original finish, the other has been repainted.here are some additional pictures.

 

[StielGr]

Excellent pictures.....many thanks for posting them.

Did either of the rockets come from that particular box?
