Hi Peter..with ground dug finds..especially with hewers in this state of preservation..questions will follow as how it was found....was it sealed or wrapped up in something. I am very cautious of the logo and the ges gesch stamp being in the blood groove... Honestly I have not noticed this before..and would like to see if there is another Pack example that can confirm any suspicions I have.
being buried for almost 80 yrs in the ground.... I would expect a worse condition than just on the lower scabbard fitting.
Was this Hewer cleaned up after the dig?
Was it protected by something wrapped around it?
is there another period example to compare the logo to?
more information is needed..as the story..just does not match the condition..after nearly 80 yrs.
need more info from your friend who is selling this and more input from the RAD collectors also. Im not doubting..this Hewer..but lets just say.."Im curious" 
Regards Larry

A comparable hewer by Pack & Sohne shown here a while back, the blade looks very similar regarding the etch going into the fuller. Regarding the condition, i'm leaning toward 'barn/attic/cellar find' rather than 'ground dug', perhaps a little misinterpretation somewhere?

As been said a barn or attic find, otherwise the state would be very different.
IMO the Logo and rad etch seems perfectly normal for a Pack and on the right spot.
Seeing them sold for prices 1200 dollar and up for decents ones, this one could do 500 dollars with its wear to the hilt and scabbard and replaced gripplate screws, but it has a pristine blade thats speaks for it.

Hi to all, thanks for your comments. I ask my friend how and where this hewer was find. He find this hewer in old stone-pit in steep hill under the rocks and leafs - so hewer was in dry place protected from rain... so that is why its condition is so good. He also told me, that he clean carefully. I ask for some better photos from place when it was find.
Again thanks to all for help!
Regards Peter
