Description
Forged to replicate the 1944 German Panzerfaust, this inert 60mm rocket is a faithful tribute to a weapon born from necessity during the closing chapters of the Second World War. The Panzerfaust was a straightforward, single-shot anti-tank launcher, made to be wielded by foot soldiers with little more than basic instruction. Its shaped-charge warhead was engineered to pierce the heavy armor plating of Allied tanks, turning the tide in close infantry engagements.
Our reproduction is crafted entirely from steel, giving it the substantial weight and tactile presence of the original projectile. The rear stabilizing fins are fashioned from flexible steel strips, preserving the distinct silhouette that helped guide the rocket in flight. Even the instruction label, applied just as the wartime soldiers would have seen it, adds to the authenticity of this piece. Though the explosive core is omitted for safety, the external construction offers a hands-on glimpse into the practical design and battlefield urgency that defined German infantry anti-tank tactics.
Dimensions and Weight:
- Overall Length: 19-1/2″
- Weight: 2 lb 6 oz
Fun Fact: The Panzerfaust’s name means “armor fist” in German, a nod to its role as a one-shot punch powerful enough to breach tank armor at close range.
