Re: Thinking to buy this axe for my 1942 MB
Hi Tuareg, The ax head is correct, but I think the handle has been replaced as it has a squared off end in stead of the "fawn's foot".
See this for examples: http://jeepdraw.com/John_Barton2-AXES.html
IMO te asking piece is rather high, but I could be mistaken.

Hello,
Yes Klass is right, the head is correct, but the handle is replaced.
The handle dimension is important so that it will fit through the front axe loop bracket.
Best Regards,
Ray
