Own a piece of military history with this authentic, inert M20 Super Bazooka rocket launcher, a legendary anti-tank weapon developed by the United States in the late 1940s. This particular launcher, marked “LAUNCHER, ROCKET 3.5 INCH M20 A1 B1,” was manufactured by Birtman Electric Co. (as indicated by the “BIRTMAN ELEC CO NSP-A.R.C.” stamp) and bears the serial number “0275035 FT140681.” The M20 Super Bazooka was an evolution of the earlier M1 and M9 Bazookas used in World War II, designed to tackle heavier armor with its 3.5-inch (90mm) rockets. While it arrived too late for WWII, the M20 saw extensive use during the Korean War (1950–1953), where it proved highly effective against T-34 tanks.

This launcher has been professionally deactivated, rendering it inert and safe for display or collection purposes. It retains its original olive drab finish, showing authentic wear consistent with its age and military use, including some surface corrosion on the sight and minor scuffs on the tube. The launcher measures approximately 60 inches in length when assembled and can be broken down into two sections for transport, as was standard for the M20 design. Key features include the original pistol grip, optical sight, and shoulder rest, all of which are intact and functional for display purposes.

The M20 Super Bazooka is a rare find for collectors of military antiques, representing a pivotal advancement in infantry anti-tank warfare during the early Cold War era. It comes with clear, legible markings that add to its historical authenticity, making it a standout piece for any collection or display. This item is perfect for military history enthusiasts, reenactors, or museums looking to showcase a significant piece of 20th-century weaponry.

Condition: Good, with signs of age and use. The sight shows some corrosion, and there are minor surface marks on the tube, but the overall structure is solid, and all components are present. This is an inert, deactivated item and cannot be made functional.
