A German Second Work War RAD Man’s Hewer
A good example, slight scratches to the blade but still good finish remaining. Multi markings of the RAD acceptance stamp, ‘Ges Gesch’ plus the unusual maker mark of ‘AXT UND HAUERFABRIK SOLINGEN’. Stag grips undamaged. All plating to the upper one piece grip good. Minor indentations to the reverse side of the upper grip. All plating good to the two scabbard fittings, with again minor indentations to the lower scabbard mount. Both of the screws securing the lower scabbard mount to the scabbard are missing and one of the screws to the upper scabbard mount are also missing. The black painted finish to the scabbard centre has been lightly restored. Always a difficult dagger to find in good condition, many have been abused, this a good example, good condition £700-£900
