German Imperial Fireman’s Axe with Leather Cover***STILL AVAILABLE*** Police Headgear It was most likely awardedGerman Imperial Firemans Axe with Leather Cover This firemans axe could have easily been used during the Third Reich as well, since these were an important tool for the fire police. This is a scarce model as the steel axe head is shaped very similar to an ice axe, but these models were in use, and we are certain that an axe like this would have been used and repurposed during the Third Reich. The long black wooden handle measures 13 inches in length.
