This original 3.5" M20A1B1 Bazooka Control Handle Cover is an authentic U.S. military surplus component, offered in good condition with the original finish showing wear and flaking/missing paint. Specifically manufactured for the Cold War-era M20A1B1 "Super Bazooka," this part was used to shield and protect the electrical firing mechanism housed at the rear of the launcher.

The M20A1B1 was an improved version of the WWII-era M9 series Bazooka, chambered for the 3.5-inch M28 and M29 series rockets. Adopted in the late 1940s and used extensively during the Korean War, the M20A1B1 delivered significantly improved armor penetration against Soviet-designed tanks encountered on the battlefield. Its electrical firing system was a key modernization, and the control handle cover ensured safe operation by protecting internal wiring and switches from damage, debris, and exposure.

This cover is an ideal restoration component or collectible, representative of Cold War infantry anti-tank technology. While the paint condition is poor, the structure remains solid and complete—ready to be refinished or displayed as-is.
