◆Rare, Beautiful Condition, Early 1960s◆Sapporo Kadota Second Generation Shigeru SAPPORO BERGHEIL K.I.W. Ice Axe, Total Length 85.5cm
●This ice axe is a work from the early 1960s, by the second generation Shigeru, during his prime. ●It is engraved with SAPPORO BERGHEIL K.I.W. K.I.W is an abbreviation for Kadota Iron Works. Usually, a period . is placed after W in K.I.W, but this ice axe does not have that period. Ice axes without this dot were made around 1960 (Showa 35) and were reportedly only used during this period. Those engraved with BERGHEIL are carbon steel ice axes. The pick is long and has a three-point attachment. The blade is fan-shaped. ● Size: Head length is 30.5cm, total length is 85.5cm. ●【Condition】It is in beautiful condition with no significant damage or rust. I have polished it slightly. Please polish it further if desired after purchase. Also, S.N is engraved on the upper part of the shaft. (Please judge from the photos.)
