This is our featured militaria
item for the week July 13 - July 20. (item
is updated on thursdays) When picking an item of
the week we look for a distinctly different piece that has
character and is out of the ordinary. The object is not always
intended to be a big seller, it is intended to show the different
aspects of German and non-German militaria and collectibles.
| Engraved
Imperial Fire Axe with RARE Hanger. |
Engraved Imperial Fire
Axe with RARE Hanger. Beautiful, ultra-RARE blond wood
Fire axe has the presentation plate present, but is
not engraved. Has the beautiful engraved head which
has a dark burnishing to the background. The engraved
portion of the head is in a floral motif. The center
of the head is engraved with helmet and Fire axe. Bottom
of shaft has the round nickel- silver ball and nickel
sleeve attached to the Fire axe. This piece is equipped
with a most unusual and RARE axe hanger which is shaped
with a Y-loop that goes around the shaft. Has an additional
strap coming from the top and passes over the pommel
nut. The strap passes through a roller buckle and can
be tightened. There is an additional clip for attaching
to a belt loop. Hanger does show age and some "crazing",
but is 100% original to the piece. This is only the
second time I have encountered this type of hanger.
Beautiful and RARE axe! Exc++ (10964) $1,595.
