Vintage Ice Axes

The one second from the bottom was recovered from a missing climber who died . The ice axe was found seven years later and the guy who owned it found three weeks after that. I useda wire wheel to clean off much of the rust and half the wood is perfect and half is badly weathered near the head.. Also , wood is stained from his fall...
