Very Early Bretfeld Style MTA [TB249]

This very rare boomerang is one of David’s early MTAs.
The “L” shaped design was based on the technology originally
developed by Wilhelm Bretfeld. There is a large lead weight
embedded in each tip and in the elbow. David custom made
this MTA for Max Hoeben of Holland. David etched the
following words on the underside: ” Made by David Schummy
for Max Hoeben ; 22nd of April 1983 “. The upper surface has
“David Schummy ; England ; 16 years ; MTA Boomerang ”
printed in black ink by Max Hoeben. There is also a Hoeben
collection tag on the underside. I test threw this MTA
before listing it. It has a flight range of about 50 metres
and it doesn’t have a lot of hover, but it does work. It is
also in excellent condition. A rare piece of early MTA
history and an excellent collectable.
