RAD EM Hewer by Axt & Hauerfabrik
Model 1934 - Reichsarbeitsdiens Haumesser für Mannschaften und Unterführer by Axt & Hauerfabrik of Solingen. The matte blade on this one looks good. The acid etched “Arbeit adelt” motto and “RADJ Ges. Gesch. Axt & Hauerfabrik Solingen” maker mark remain visible. The fit is perfect, and so is the tip. It rates Exc++. It shows age grey, scratches and scuffs throughout. The edge is dull but looks to have been sharpened at some point. There are a few nicks. The steel based black enamel painted scabbard is looks good. It retains 95%+ paint coverage. There is spidering throughout. There is a bump to the obverse. The nickel plated and black burnished fittings provide wonderful detail, throughout the RAD logos and decorative interweaving top patterns. All three aluminum screws remain intact. The throat is unit marked: “Fu. 266”. The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect. The iron-based nickel-silver plated hilt looks great. It has minor plating bubbles. Just above the crossguard it is unit marked: “Fu. 211” (non-matching). The stag horn grip plates have wonderfully aged, providing nice contrasting beige/brown colors. There are no cracks of chips and they remain tightly secured by two screws and spanner nuts. A fine example!
