Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is an original WWII U.S. Army 10 Cap Blasting Machine, complete with the original handle. These were used by demolition crews on D-day to destroy the many obstacles on French beaches that had been set up during years of German occupation. This particular example has a brass lower housing, with a lid that appears to be zinc or aluminum, with a data plate on the side with information and instructions. The Data plate reads:
The Blasting Machine comes complete with the original twist handle, still attached by a chain. The handle itself is steel, so it unfortunately has suffered rust damage, and the bottom portion is missing one of the two "teeth" that engage the machine. Also, the leather carry handle/cover is missing, though the two mounting buttons are still attached.
Offered in very good condition, with the expected wear of age.
