INERT DEACTIVATED. British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) Round & Fuze. - O 2252 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare British WW2, PIAT (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) round. The round is complete with its original nose fuse. The PIAT was designed in response to the British Army's need for a more effective hand-held infantry anti-tank weapon. It consisted of a steel tube, a trigger mechanism and firing spring, and was based on the spigot mortar system and instead of using a propellant to directly fire a round; the spring was cocked and tightened. When the trigger was pulled, it released the spring that pushed the spigot forward into the rear of the bomb. This detonated the cartridge in the base of the bomb, was then thrown forward off the spigot and if lucky re cocked the weapon for firing again. The PIAT possessed an effective range of approximately 100 yards. This system meant that the PIAT had several advantages, which included a lack of muzzle smoke to reveal the position of the user, the ability to fire it from inside buildings. The PIAT entered service in 1943 and was first used during the Allied invasion of Sicily that year; it remained in use with British and Commonwealth forces until the early 1950s. The PIAT replaced the .303 Boys anti-tank rifle which was adopted in 1937 and soon proved itself unable to defeating heavy armour. As well as being used in the anti-tank role, the PIAT was an effective way of opening doors on buildings at a safer distance and the resulting explosion was usually enough to subdue opposition in the building. The round has its original hollow charge cone and booster charge. The top of the hollow charge has an alloy fuze retained by a bayonet fitting pressed steel collar. This projectile retains much of its original green painted finish with a blue band near the nose with a narrow yellow line above and below it. The price for this round includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert round in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. O 2252 £345.00 |

The Metal badges are all in very good condition some with original silvering and gilt remaining and no damage. The badges are period mounted on a brown Bakelite display shield (most likely by the guard who liberated them). Each badge is secured to the shield by copper pins and screws. To achieve this the lug mounts / pins on the rear of each badge have been removed in the mounting process which reflects the price of this collection. To avoid damage we have not attempted to remove any of the badges from the shield to examine for maker or date marks. The badges from top left to right consist of : 1. The Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet War Badge (German: Das Flottenkriegsabzeichen), was awarded for service to the crews of the Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet, mainly of the battleships and cruisers, but also those ships that supported them operationally for which there was no other award given. Although the award was instituted in April 1941, it could be awarded for actions that took place prior to this date. It was "primarily in recognition of the sea struggle" against the British fleet. 2. The Kriegsmarine Fast Attack Craft War Badge or S-Boat War Badge (German: Schnellbootkriegsabzeichen) was awarded to members of the Kriegsmarine for service on fast attack craft or patrol / torpedo boats. The award was instituted on 30 May 1941. Requirements to receive the award included: an outstandingly successful sortie, wounded in action, 12 sorties against enemy vessels or installations, or outstanding leadership. 3. As number 1 Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet War Badge. 4. The Kriegsmarine Minesweeper War Badge or Minesweepers, Sub-Chasers and Escort-Vessel War Badge (German: Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boot-Jagd- und Sicherungsverbände) was awarded to Kriegsmarine members for service on minesweepers vessels. The award was instituted on 31 August 1940. 5. The Kriegsmarine U-boat War Badge was originally instituted during the First World War on February 1, 1918. It was awarded to recognize U-boat crews who had completed three war patrols. On October 13, 1939, the U-boat War Badge was reinstituted. It was very similar to the original badge with the exception of the imperial crown being replaced with a German Eagle above a swastika, and a more modernized submarine now facing towards the left was used. This is the Nazi WW2 example. 6. The Auxiliary Cruiser War Badge (German: Kriegsabzeichen für Hilfskreuzer) was awarded to officers and men of the Kriegsmarine for service on Auxiliary Cruisers or the supply ships that supported them for a successful large voyage. The award was instituted on 24 April 1941. 7. The Destroyer War Badge (German: Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen) was awarded to officers and crew for service on Kriegsmarine destroyers. It was instituted on 4 June 1940 following the battle of Narvik. It was also awarded to the crews of torpedo boats and fast attack craft. 8. The Kriegsmarine Naval Artillery War Badge / Coastal Artillery War Badge (German: Kriegsabzeichen für die Marineartillerie) was awarded to the crews of Kriegsmarine land-based marine artillery and anti-aircraft units. It was presented to personnel of coastal defence units, and anti-aircraft units. The award was instituted on 24 June 1941 to reward the actions of both individuals and crew members. It was also awarded to those killed in action in those units. 9.
