Axe lost on e-bay

[kronckew]

yup,

now that i've registered a credit card and thus can prove i'm over 16, even my sniper is working again. that hembrug is of course the modification the japanese made to captured original dutch klewangs by shortening it and cutting away the handguard. i understand they modified about 1500 for their NCO's, the full one we've discussed here before, like mine:


unfortunately, i didn't win any of the items i sniped

Kronckew,

Your picture did not show up. I'll make a post on the Hembrug when it gets home. Would like to know more. Is there a link to a previous post?

some guy named marsh started this one

(pics are showing up for me)

here it is from another source

{picture removed, redundant )

another more recent thread on the book written about them which is also fascinating. Linky

Thanks. I KNEW I had seen one of them somewhere!

Pics now working for me also! I thought that you had one like my recent eBay acquisition that had been cut down.

well, there IS one just like yours in there, just like a block of marble in michaelangelo's studio, all he had to do to carve the david was to remove anything that didn't look like david. same with mine, we just need to remove the bits that dont look like yours.
