WW2 Era British ARP Fire Axe

A WW2 era British ARP fire axe (Arpax). The insulated handle is encased in rubber which provided protection if the axe severed an electric cable. The handle has moulded into it 'TESTED 20,000 VOLTS' on one side and ‘No 125’ on its reverse. The axe head shows signs of use and is stamped ‘WG PT’.

These were used by the Air Raid Precaution (ARP) officers and the National Fire Service (NFS) during the blitz of world war 2.

Complete with original black webbing pouch and leather belt. The underside of the belt buckle is stamped ‘DQQ’.

The axe shows it’s had a life, and is in good solid usable condition.
