Austrian developed round for the Granatenwerfer 16. Also called the Priestwerfer or Taube grenade. Heavily segmented body and high fragmentation of this weapon produced many casualties in WWI. This specimen is guaranteed original, in VG condition, restored by repainting.

Very large calibre artillery projectile. 31 ¼ inches long, 172mm diameter. Stamped into projectile is the maker number 3264 with what appears to be a Crown over M, stamped 3 times on rings as shown in photo. Also marked GwK and IV .18. This marking would be consistent with the German WW2 17cm Kanone 18, making it a very rare item indeed. Does not have nose fuze but there is a hold in the point showing the interior is empty. No paint remaining, exterior has some minor pitting as visible in photos. Not disassembled.

German WWII era pull type (trip wire) igniter used to ignite a detonator, which in turn fires a Tellermine, Smoke Candle or prepared charges. Very interesting item brass construction, marked with Waffenamt stamp on each one. Inert. Pictured igniter has been cleaned up for illustrative purposes. The ones shipping will be similar to last photo, representative photo.

Original Glasmine 43 used as anti-personnel mine by the Germans during World War II. Made of glass, with minimal metal reduced the chance of detection by mine detectors used by the Allies. The mine consists of a glass bowl, 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter containing an explosive charge and a detonator. The top of the mine has a thin glass disk under a thick, molded glass pressure plate. Mines were supplied with a small quantity of cement putty to seal gaps between the main body and the glass disk cover and make the mine waterproof but naturally this does not come with that component. These had a very short late war production period and are quite rare. Interesting, insidious and very researchable.

Original bakelite material fuze container dated 1938 inside lid and nicely marked Zunderbusche, also part number and inspection code. VG original condition.

The rocket is 3.2 inches diameter, 27 inches in length, no propellant or motor present. This is the practice version that would have been painted blue but no traces of blue paint remaining. Almost no markings, what there is shown in photo. Empty and inert. Does not disassemble.

Original pine board box to contain 2 No. 5 Mk II smoke generators. 1943 dated. Nicely marked but some of it is now illegible. Blue paper seal, partially disintegrated; Government Explosive 11 N.C.D. Hinges have been added to lid. Interesting collectable, but if you have the No. 5 generators this is your lucky day!

7 inches long, 2 inches (50mm) diameter at middle of body. Thought to be armour piercing penetrator from discarding sabot tank round.
