Hi Jan,

Is a pleasure to answer its question!

This Panzerschreck this in a particular collection of a Museum of Veterans in the South of the United States up to 1968, when he was disactivated (they had said me that the owner sell its collection when knew of the death of its son in the Vietnam).

One another American collector of Miami bought two Panzerschreck.


Best Regards,

Ricardo.
