Panzerfaust ‘Gretchen’ 30 Meter Launcher & Rocket Second model of the German WW2 Panzerfaust was referred to as the ‘Gretchen’ or ‘Faustpatrone 1’. Essentially improving the earlier ‘Klein’ version by utilizing a larger tube and rocket with increased explosive penetration. All steel, this inert version is full size and comes with markings.
Some colors/markings, may differ from those shown.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a $10 handling fee on this item

Panzerfaust 30
On the whole, this definitely deserves its 2 stars. The craftsmanship is not great, even compared to the roughest originals (which is saying something).
The one I received had its head and tube in two completely different shades of green.
Already out of the box:
-The spring steel latch to keep the top of the warhead attached to the base was cracked almost in half
-The sights had been incorrectly placed when welded (they are a full inch off)
Other things include the label on the head being a pixilated mess (looks like someone literally printed it off a picture they found on Google onto a sheet of printer paper before a blind person cut it out and glued it on)
Also, the bottom of the warhead, which has metal fins in the photo, came with plastic fins that looked to have been cut with a razor blade before being attached with a pop rivet gun and then smashed flat with a hammer.
This is a project piece; if anything, it needs a lot of work to make it look halfway decent. It's got a ton of issues, but the bones are good (if I can say anything good about it), that's about the only thing keeping this from getting a 1-star
