Original German WWII DRK Red Cross EM/NCO Hewer with Excellent Blade and Scabbard - Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Flintlocks -Weight: 3 lbsOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition example of the German Red Cross (DRK) Enlisted Man Non Commissioned Officer Hewer, complete with its original scabbard. The hewer has a blunt tip and edge, as it was intended for combat medics, who would make more use of the Sawback blade, which could be used to cut wood for splints. The heavy blade could however be used for chopping if sharpened, similar to the U. S. Hospital corps
