DEACTIVATED INERT. Very Rare German Early WW1 Butterfly Hand Grenade. Sn - 18210:18 DEACTIVATED INERT. This is a very rare and little documented German hand grenade produced early in WW1. The hand grenade is quite unique in its action and is compact to carry. The cylindrical hand grenade has two half barrel shaped pressed steel shields that encase the explosive body and are hinged at one end. After throwing the grenade, the two wings open out 90 degrees parallel with each other to form a T shape with the explosive charge hanging below. This is achieved by putting a round hollow pin attached to the top of the grenades body through the hinge of the wings to keep the T shape. This hand grenade is of the impact type with an integral percussion fuse. A screw on steel cylindrical gaine screws into the top of the body and a screw on smooth cylindrical explosive body screws on after that. The bottom of the body has a Star of David cast into it and it was produced by Jewish Factories in WW1 to aid the German war effort. The price for this extremely rare WW1 German hand grenade includes U.K. delivery. Sn. 18210:18 £750.00 |

INERT DEACTIVATED. Rare WW2, Home Guard, Quarter Sectioned Instructional, 1941 Dated, British No.68 AT (Anti Tank) HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) Fin Stabilised Hollow Charged Rifle Grenade. Sn - 21304 INERT DEACTIVATED. The grenade, Rifle No. 68 /AT was a British anti-tank rifle grenade used during WW2.The No. 68 was an early form of shaped charge grenade, and has some claim to have been the first High Explosive, Anti-Tank (HEAT) device in use. The design of the warhead was simple and was capable of penetrating 52mm (2 inches) of armour in 1940. The fuse of the grenade was armed by removing a pin in the tail which prevented the firing pin from flying forward. The grenade was launched from a rifle cup. The four fins gave it some stability in the air and, provided the grenade hit the target at the proper angle (90 degrees), the charge would be effective. The detonation occurred on impact, when a striker in the tail of the grenade overcame the resistance of a creep spring and was thrown forward into a stab detonator. The grenade is fired from the rifle via a No. 1 Mk.1 rifle bomb discharger cup that fits at the muzzle end of the rifle. This is a rare original British home Guard instructional WW2 HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) hollow charged No. 68 MK III AT rifle grenade with a quarter section taken out to reveal the grenades inner workings. The grenade is made of die cast alloy with a steel screw on nose cap with a brass washer. The steel gas check is stamped REVO 1941 (1941 date) with a crowfoot in a diamond and is secured to the rear by a brass screw. One of the fins of the tail unit has been removed to reveal the firing pin and creep spring assembly. Two of the other fins have cast into them 68 AT III 1941 (1941 date) and a makers monogram BDC. The grenades firing pin assembly is complete and the explosive contents are simulated with a painted inert filling. This filling has an inert.410 brass cartridge case in it above the firing pin. The 68 anti-tank rifle grenade was displaced later in WW2 by improved weapons including the PIAT and other weapons. There is a contemporary photograph shows a member of the Home Guard with a rifle equipped to fire a No68 anti-tank grenade at Dorking, 3 August 1942. See ‘GRENADE’ British & Commonwealth Hand & Rifle Grenades, pages 151 – 154 by Rick Landers.

SOLD SOLD (17/03) INERT DEACTIVATED. Rare, Home Guard, Early WW2, 20lb Blacker Bombard 29mm Spigot Mortor Practice Round. Sn - 22044:1 After the fall of Dunkirk, there was a dire shortage of weapons, especially anti tank weapons and the Blacker Bombard was accepted only after the intervention of Winston Churchill. The Blacker Bombard, also known as the 29 mm Spigot Mortar, was an fin stabilised infantry anti-tank weapon devised by Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart Blacker in the early years of the Second World War. Unlike conventional mortars the spigot mortar did not possess a barrel, and instead there was a steel rod known as a 'spigot' fixed to a baseplate with the bomb having a propellant charge inside its tail. The bomb was fin stabilised and when the mortar was to be fired, the bomb was pushed down onto the spigot, which exploded the propellant charge and propelled the mortor forward off the spigot. The weapon was intended as a means to equip Home Guard units with an anti-tank weapon in case of German invasion in 1940. Although there were doubts about the effectiveness of the weapon, many were issued, however the weapon saw no or little service at the start of the Second World War. This is a rare, original high explosive anti tank round for the weapon which is in excellent condition and retains much of its original green painted finish with a yellow band round the nose. The service high explosive anti tank round would originally have held 8 ¾ pounds of high explosive hence the bulbous nose of the round. The round consists of a steel tube to mount over the spigot with a pressed steel fin assembly and warhead. The round retains much of its original green painted finish and yellow band round the nose. The top if the warhead still retains its varnished cloth seal round its circumference. The round was intended to be reused up to 20 times, due to its low velocity by firing it into a soft earth banking. Although the Blacker Bombard is long gone many of the original cylindrical concrete mounts remain, the give away is a 2 inch diameter stainless steel point on the top. No licence is required to possess this inert spigot mortar in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display and the price includes UK delivery. Sn 22044:1 £0.00 |
