Description
Outstanding example of the hewer worn by NCO Cadre of the RAD - the Labor Corps. Exterior shows nickel plated fittings that show even, minor age throughout but no damage. Some minor finish loss on the reverse to the upper scabbard fitting - probably due to period wear against a uniform. Paint shows crazing, and a few uniform areas of paint loss, but paint is 95% present and in great condition. Blade shows some sharpening on the edge, and some minor runner-mark corrosion. Present is the early brown leather hanger, in outstanding condition - these were usually broken during the period due to their inherent fragility.
