This is a very rustic looking 50's ice axe made by P. Schild & Sons in Kandersteg, Bernese Oberland Switzerland. Heavy rust blistered the metal on the head which gives it a very authentic look. Otherwise it is very good shape and the shaft is free of cracks, dents or splinters. The faded name "P. Schild & Sohn" is engraved on the head as well as the previous owner on the reverse side (Franz ?).
