Farmboy91 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 This belonged to my grandfather, he was a fireman in the RAF, it has got the broad arrow on it too. I remember this from when I was a kid and found it kicking around in the shed yesterday. There's a fair bit of surface rust but nothing major, handle needs a good tidy up too. Haven't got a particular need for it but it would be nice to have being as it was in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to order some polishing confound when I've got few pennies spare. 2 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: RAF Fire Axe, clean it up and mount it for the Man Cave! Definitely the plan, nice to have something with a bit of family history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
