Gentlemen

What do you think of this RAD Hewer. For me the red flag is the motto. I have compared hard with one I have in hand and in these photos is see indentations along some of the edges. What do you think?

some of these edges look a bit rough don't they?

Very niece piece in extremely collectible condition. This minor 'bleed' is not uncommon

Thanks gentlemen. I didn't buy it in the end as the guy wanted �uro 1500 for it. About US$200 which I thought was a bit steep.

Great comments guys - many thanks

I think 1500€ is a little bit much, but it is nice one.

You know it is very easy to see imperfections when you zoom in like that. That is really a very nice hewer and rarely do you find one in that condition. whilst $2000 may seem a little steep you do get a lot for your money with these and condition is everything. I have one but whilst in good condition like many it has a few bruises on the bottom fitting.

See how may other imperfections you can find in this one smile

The pimples within the etch I believe is due to an acid bath that is due for cleaning. At least that was the opinion of some more knowledgeable than me. Imperfect? Yes. Would I part with it? Not yet!

Landser,

A very nice looking Krebs indeed. The hanger is a real screamer too.
