Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is an excellent condition World War Two "Aschenbrenner" style Führerpickel (guide pick) ice axe by the Austrian firm of STUBAI, which still exists today. "Himalaya" Peter Aschenbrenner was a famous Austrian mountaineer of the time, and this ice axe was named after him. While technically this was a civilian ice axe, Aschenbrenner was a Heeresbergführer (Army Mountain Guide) with the Gebirgsjägers (Mountain Troopers) during the war. This model of ice axe is documented as having been used by the Gebirgsjägers.
This ice axe is offered in excellent condition, and measures 33 1/4" in overall length with a 10 1/2" head. The metal ring and cloth wrist strap are original and complete (so often missing), still held onto the shaft by the retaining stud. The STUBAI logo is clearly marked on the head inside a diamond, and is the correct pre-war or wartime style logo. Next to this it is marked:
Aschenbrenner
Führerpickel
ges. gesch.
This basically indicates that it is an Aschenbrenner style ice axe, and that the design is a protected trademarked design.
A really great example, ready to display.
