INERT DEACTIVATED. British WW2, 1944 Dated, PIAT Mark IV, (Projector Infantry Anti-tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) Round & Fuze. Sn 23341 - 23341 INERT DEACTIVATED. This is a rare British, WW2, 1944 dated, PIAT Mark IV (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. A useful advantage of the PIAT was that it could be used in an enclosed room due to it giving no blast on firing. The round has its original hollow charge cone and booster charge. The top of the hollow charge has an alloy fuze retained by a screw fitting pressed steel collar. This projectile retains much of its original green painted finish and stencilling with a blue band near the nose between 2 narrow black lines. The blue band is stencilled in black TNT 33. The projectile below the blue band is stencilled in black CH/C 33 (in a circle) 10/44 (October 1944 date). The nosecone retains most of its original green painted finish with a red band round it. one of the fins is stencilled in black OSMAA 8/44 (August 1944 date) LOT No 238. The reinforcing ring round the fins is stencilled in black 1841.

RARE, American Civil War, Hanes Excelsior Percussion Hand Grenade. Sn - 23231 The Hanes Excelsior hand grenade was one of the two main hand grenades used in the American Civil War and was the invention of W.W. Hanes in early 1862. The Hanes grenade was a simple weapon, merely a cast iron ball with a hollow centre which was filled with gunpowder. The grenade measures approximately 2 inches in diameter and had 12 evenly spaced protruding percussion nipples round its circumference onto which percussion caps were placed. When thrown, the force of the percussion caps striking the ground detonated the grenade. The Excelsior hand grenade has percussion nipples, each requiring attachment of a percussion cap before throwing the grenade. It would only take one cap to trigger the explosion, and soldiers trying to use Hanes’s grenade found out the hard way that it was too easy to accidentally set off one of the percussions caps. The percussion caps used were not the same type of caps used to fire percussion muskets and revolvers, rather they were special grenade caps produced by DuPont which used a very refined form of mercury fulminate, causing the caps to be highly sensitive to percussion. While this ensured that the grenade would hopefully detonate reliably it also made the grenade very dangerous to carry unless its percussion caps were not in place. Any bump or jostle of the grenade could cause an accidental explosion. Due to the dangerous nature of the grenade, they were rarely used when issued. This is an original Hanes Excelsior hand grenade from the American Civil War and is in excellent condition. and has a carrying loop attached to the casting. 11 of the original percussion nipples are present as is the wire carrying ring. The casing of the grenade has a nice patina to the surface. Due to the dangerous properties of this hand grenade, very few were made or issued. The price includes UK delivery and no licence is required to possess this inert grenade and adaptor in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 23121 £1,200.00 |
