A look at the size of three ice axes with a comparison to the heights of their owners to come to the conclusion that taller people use longer ice axes.
Then I compare a known ice axe of Andrew Irvine with the "mystery" ice axe found on Everest in 1933 with Irvine's known ice axe being significantly bigger -- in both length and girth. Reevaluates the evidence around the Wilisch ice axe and it is most likely that of George Mallory, with little possibility it was Irvine.
Comments on the "hole in the heard" and the issue around the photographs taken of George Mallory's face that remain secret.
