Gazz 0 #15 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Hi, nice seeing the old Allen scythes, my dad use to cut our grass in the orchard with one for many years. He since sold the Allen scythe but I have just found the plough he had for it, with the weight and bar loop to give better control. Any one know what it might be worth. Searched many of these sights and never find one for sale, RARE??? Edited May 13, 2019 by Gazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
