Its a Pioneer Hatchet that was issued to Wehrmacht Mortar Crews during the War.

This might be a challenge for the Axe experts. Who was this Hatchet made for and when? I researched the markings on it and came up with a bit of a supprise.

Not sure.Do you think he might have had one of those "Swedish side strops" from back in the day? You know the ones that were just a bit of Cable with a Pussik on it? Not seen one of those for years. And topping down strops,three strand with a eye in it.

Got the cab back on the Mog,after a repaint and replacement gearbox.

How easy are they to turn? Could you turn them easily with a couple of fingers,without feeling much resistance?

Alot of their work is classified Steve.

Much like the time you were struck by a Meteorite,punched into the Earths crust only to surf the Magma out of a Volcano and ride a Turtle back to Norfolk Ian.

No. Velcro the Brackets on the night before.

On the cold calling idea.I have done it too,works very well.Especially if as stated you look professional.In addition to a professional image,it is also important to have professional tools.This little idea has made me thousands... Buy a volt meter from Ebay,£10 gets you one. Mask off the screen Spray paint it Green Remove Tape Now you have your own "cellulose integrity meter" When you knock on the door,ask the client if they would like a free Tree check.If yes,push both probes into the bark,turn the dial and write the readings down.Then get out your Collins World of Trees and index the reading against the page number that the particular Tree you are "reading" is on. Of course the reading and the page are miles out and viola! you have a sale!

Ian Flatters.A man without limits.

Drive it into a 30 yard skip,fill with liquid cement,once it hardens push it into the Sea

Sometimes I think there should be a term for those guys that display talent and initiative far beyond what most of us could dream of achieving. GF Beranek,Graeme Mcmahon,Reg Coats,Ian Flatters, Each has the distinction of being at the top of their game in their respective parts of the world.Beranek for North America,Mcmahon for Aus,Reg for Canada and Flatters for Europe. True "Masters of Arb"

Daniel and Ian both share the distinction of being pioneers in the industry at the cutting edge of modern Arboriculture. "One of Europes Best" is a phrase I have heard describing Ian.

You could build a Mosk? Muslims dont drink and like booze,they seem to be everywhere.

Guy bought one who works for me.First day out with it he was soaked. I wish STEIN made bullet proof vests and sold them to ISIS.

Who are you working for Adam?

If a business shuts down selling a product there is a demand for,then a gap appears in the market for all to take advantage of. If he has not replied to any enquiries for the last 8 months then I think you are seeing that there is a demand that he is not meeting,however his advertising is working hence the enquiries.

To mount a GRCS on a tree for removal using one man... Cut a kerf on the Tree,tap a wedge in,hang the backing plate on the wedge,tighten up the strap,knock out the wedge,slide on the winch. Takes about the same time as doing it with two guys.

2K is not alot of down time.I would suggest a Jensen.

Yes. Rotate them to horizontal and they slip out.

Yes.It has a schnellerruckwartsgetriebekasse or "fast reverse gearbox.All saws south of the equator a fitted with them.

I saw them doing this at a steam rally when I was a kid [ame] [/ame]
