WWII German Panzerschreck rocket projectile (rear section) Numbered

This 88 mm (3.46 in.) rocket-propelled, hollow-charge, anti-tank grenade rear section piece, which is numbered was fired from a tube, became operational with German Army and SS field units in August 1944. Nicknamed the Panzerschreck (Tank Terror), this weapon’s development had been heavily influenced by American bazookas of 60 mm (2.4 in.) calibre captured in North Africa in spring 1943. Effective range was 150 to 180 m (500 to 600 ft), and it could penetrate 16 cm (6.3 in.) of armour. It was usually operated as a two-man weapon: a loader carried and loaded the projectiles into the tube, which was aimed and fired by the operator.
