RAD Enlisted Mans Hewer with hanger [M1934] by Carl Julius Krebs, Solingen

This RAD Dagger by Krebs is in good nice condition throughout. Model 1934 for RAD Hewer. The total length is 39.5 cm. The Hewer has the maker mark on the blade: Carl Julius Krebs in Solingen.

Grip: The hilt area has very choice nickel fittings which show little carrying time. In fact these fittings are still crisp especially around the ferrule area, the beak area and also the crossguard with its curled quillon at the end. The grip plates are very beautiful having a good dark brown in the backgrounds. The edges have turned a nice attractive golden color. These plates are retained by screw and spanner hardware.

Blade: The blade of this example has the standard bowie shape. It is done in the matte finish. This blade has nice, crisp edges with a good, deep fuller on each side. The obverse has an outstanding etched motto which features 100% of the factory blackening in the backgrounds. The reverse ricasso features an RAD triangle positioned over the patent-pending words “Ges. Gesch.”. Beneath is a single oval trademark. Within the line is the firm’s name and location “Carl Julius Krebs Solingen”. In the center is a crown positioned over the letter “K”.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is a beauty being totally straight throughout. The scabbard mounts are also in choice condition. These mounts have perfect surfaces. They still also have all of the dark backgrounds to enhance the images. The upper mount has the complicated RAD swirl designs and the lower mount has the shovels with wheat shafts and swastika on both sides. Both mounts have the beaded pattern that decorates the edges that touch the shell. The original screws are in place.
