I am bumping this one back up. I enjoy looking at our archives here at the forum. I came across this one on hand hatchet's. These two Plumbs were bought by my father in the early 60's. He found them at a real Army Navy store, you know the ones that had more then green long johns and camo jackets. The hatchet's were painted army green top to bottom. Dad sanded the handles to the wood. Then a light oil rubbed finish on them. I carried one during my scouting years. Many a trip on the Appalachia Trail and time on the French Broad River in North Carolina. I am glad that I pulled these out of storage, they need some work. I see some light rust on the heads. You think some steal wool and some elbow grease and Rem oil. Thanks for the thread.
