Revitalising a one hand "fire fighters"-axe

[peppen108]

This model is becoming harder and harder to find in working condition. Ether the head has been worn/ground down beyond rescue or the but of the handle has been reduced to a slim stick or both. However I found this military make with very little wear. The leather case is rotten and crumbles, its covered in green paint and the head is a tad loose, but over all its in great shape.

Over all length 15.4"
Head width 8.2"

Nice, looking forward to seeing it fixed up. What are you planing on using it for?

NICE!! It should clean up for you. I'll bet a metal wedge would tighten up the head.
Good luck refurbishing it. Would be nice to see before and after pictures.

In Poland those are very common. U can easily buy them for like $10 with the original sheath included.
