I got this several months ago and have tried to improve on it as I could. The inert round was painted some strange color of green so I painted it gray and used my lame skills at stenciling to add the "4322" numbering. I also found a shield as it did not have one when I got it. This shield was ground dug so the metal is a little thin here and there. It was also sandblasted and came to me as bare metal. I had to guess at a color so I used 1944 Militaria dark yellow ordnance spray paint and went at it. It will have to do until I can find a better shield

Nice Panzerschreck!
It's the long version, now you need the short one to have both.
Is your trigger mechanism still in full working order?

The trigger was a little bent but I straightened it out and it seems to work, but this is the only one I have ever had my hands on so I am not 100 percent sure. In any case, it fired its last round 60 years ago. I have seen the short version for sale in Germany.
And I have a book and it is signed "ayatholla michael abdullah mohammid bin heilder." Ever heard of that guy? I think he was released from Gitmo.

You should be glad that I didn't sign it with my full name .... one page wouldn't be enough to write all the names down. I guess next time I come to Chicago Airport it will take more than 20 minutes (like last year) at the immigration officer's desk
