Elwell 27N/1 1945 Broad Arrow Marked Escape Axe - WWII - R.A.F

These axes were issued by the RAF for pilots who would need to escape wreckage if they survived a plane crash.

This one is pitted quite a lot and has had a few knocks to it, however the handle which is the part that tends to be damaged more on these is in pretty good order.

Completely blunt so if desired you may want to sharpen.

Some of these, like this one has the axe part filled in as it would have been made, others tend to have this cut out, if you have any information as to why some of them had been cut out and some not i'd love to know.

Around 15 5/8" total length
