Exceptional rare original Panzerkampfwagen V Panther muzzle brake
Extremely scarce muzzle brake for the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther. We believe it to be of the Ausführung A or D model. The Model D has only been produced for a short while with a production range of only 800 delivered units. The muzzle brake was once fitted on a 7,5 cm KwK 42/L70 which was a main gun designed for the Panther. There are only a very small amount of original Panther tanks remaining today, and many are missing their muzzle brake. The muzzle brake shows a heavy crack which was most probably caused by the Panther being knocked out. The muzzle brake is a relic that was found in Germany somewhere in the last century and has been in one collection since. The muzzle brake would be a epic man cave centerpiece and a guaranteed conversation piece. Most probably this is the only one we’ll ever be able to offer and a once in a lifetime chance to obtain such a unique item.
Please note, shipping will be calculated at cost, after ordering. Can be delivered to most European militaria fairs including the Militracks fair next weekend. Pickup is preferred. Delivery can be arranged within the BeNeLux.

Underneath a short unit history of Infanterie Regiment 53 during the 1940 campaign.
9 May 1940; Infanterie Regiment 53 was mobilized early may 1940. On may 1940 it received the order to march westwards in the night. Close to the border it took a pause near Effeld and Rothenbach.
10 May 1940; May 10, 03:00 it received the order to prepare and around 05.35 marched across the border near Vlodrop and stormed the bridge acros the Roer where it exchanged hands undamaged. They went trough St. Odilienberg and Linne. At 8.30 they reached Maasbracht where the Panzerjäger Kompanie attacked the bunkers at the Maas bridge. Around 12:30 the first troops crossed the Maas river where it took many casualties due to Dutch machinegun fire. The advancing troops managed to roll up the enemy troops, cross the canal at Neederwert and capture the bridge in Panheel intact. At around 13:00 the resistance was broken and Wessem was taken. The Dutch-Belgian border at Kessenich was crossed via Thorn by the evening.
11 May 1940; The 1. Bataillon moved in the night trough the hardly passable swamp and forest area south of Kinrooi towards Tengerloo. Using a set of half sunk barges the 1. Btl. crossed the Maas-Scheldt canal. Other bataillons were brought up they used the regimental pioneer platoons rafts to cross it moving most if not all the units vehicles. Around midday the order was given to chase the enemy. They paused in Meeuwen and ended the day after crossing at Helchteren. By nightfall they had covered around 45 kilometers into Belgium resting in Lilo, Helchteren and Zolder.
12 May 1940; the regiment crossed the Albertkanaal which was cleared of Belgian resistance during the night. It received its first air raid in the west. They faced resistance when they reached Lummen which was taken by nightfall at heavy casualties.
13 May 1940; They pushed trough to Tienwinkel and moved into a defensive position at their bridgehead acros the Albertkanaal because the units to its left and right have not yet crossed the canal. Late in the evening it moved westwards again.
14 May 1940; The regiment was pulled from the front for a short pause where they were fed and received new ammunition. Afterwards marched trough Haelen to the staging area at Meensel-Kiesehem and Molembeek-Wersbeek. At 03:30 it moved to Lovenjoul where it arrived int he evening.
15 May 1940; The regiment crossed the Dyle river and took up positions to move towards Leuven. This attach was however called up and dug into defensive positions. They received a heavy artillery barrage from the British troops near Leuven.
