Vintage 50s Claudius Simond Mountaineering Axe

Vintage 50s French ice axe

This vintage ice axe was produced in Chamonix in the 1950s by the renowned French mountaineer and equipment maker Claudius Simond, a respected figure in the Mont Blanc region. The blade still carries the original maker’s stamp – a clear mark of authenticity and heritage.

Once an essential tool for navigating icy alpine terrain, it now stands as a remarkable piece of mountaineering history. It would make a striking decorative element in any interior, or a unique highlight in a collection of vintage sporting gear or alpine memorabilia.

After nearly a century, the ice axe remains in worn but solid condition. Years of use have given it a rugged, oxidized patina that enhances its historical character. To preserve its surface, it has been treated with antique wax, adding both protection and a subtle sheen.
