1944 German Pick Carrier carcano Many collectors and reenactors incorrectly1944 dated German pick carrier. I am not entirely familiar with the exact pick this would have carried although it seems like it would be Feuerwehr ax but it has more of a military construction. It is in good condition and the leather is still very flexible. The marking is in a very odd location, under the pick strap.
