Title Spike tomahawk head
Nationality British
Period c 1860
Price £150.00

This is a nice example of a Birmingham export belt axe/tomahawk head, almost certainly cast steel with some rudimentary attempt at polishing the front end of the blade. These were typical of what settlers may have carried in the West (US) and also the Indians.

There is a little damage to the top of the blade, the first half inch being somewhat chipped, and the spike at the rear is a little blunted.

The dirk arrived this morning and I could not be happier with it! Excellent little piece, most unusual... I look forward to doing more business with you, as finance permits; rest assured you will be highly recommended to my collecting colleagues.
