RAD Hewer

[M.E.E.]

I thought I would post the RAD hewer I own. It had never been in a collection before it came into my hands spending 70 years in a sock drawer of the vet that brought it back. There is a bit of greying on the blade and you can see period wear of the nickel plate from where the NCO held it. There is some rubbing on the scabbard where it rubbed against the hanger/clothes and tack marks on the back of the handle from pounding nails but it is in very good shape and happy to have it in my collection.

Very nice one that still has its Original paint on the scabbard.
Nice bonus is the added stock number below the Krebs logo.
The plating on the Krebs 1937 hilts is very thin and if have seen and owned a few and they mostly come with either platelifting or a bit of rost on the ferrule.
Here to compare with yours one i used to own.

Superb original condition-as good as you could hope to find. That is one fine chopper!
