A Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) Model 1934 Hewer for Enlisted personnel, measuring 40 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a 25 cm-log, nickel-plated, bolo-style magnetic steel blade which retains factory-original sharpening to both the tip and lower edge. Dual narrow fullers run the majority of the length of the upper edge of each side. Acid-etched onto the obverse is an inscription of “ARBEIT ADELT” (“LABOUR ENNOBLES”) in Fraktur script. The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “ERNST PACK \u0026amp; SÖHNE, WAFFENFABRIK, SOLINGEN”, circumscribing the firm’s classic Siegfried logo. A Reichsleitungs des Reichsarbeitsdienstes (RLAD) logo sits just above the maker’s mark. The blade sits securely within a nickel-plated zink alloy hilt which features a hooked quillon and pommel. Two pieces of polished staghorn compose the handle grip, and are fixed in position with dual non-magnetic metal rivets. Accompanying the Hewer is its original scabbard, constructed of a black painted magnetic metal shaft. Plated magnetic metal fixtures are secured to both the tip and throat. The former bears double-sided etched RAD insignia, while the latter features a double-sided ribbed trefoil design. An integral loop set into the side of the throat fixture accommodates an original hanger, constructed of magnetic steel with a blackened leather strap. The hanger is maker marked with the logo of F.W. Assmann \u0026amp; Söhne, Lüdenscheid. A functional spring catch situated within the throat firmly holds the Hewer in place during storage.
