1812 War British Royal Navy Boarding Axe

At first it just looked like a couple of iron spikes. I almost left it. It turned out to be a Royal Navy boarding axe with makers mark SARGANT 1805. My favorite axe so far! What a wicked looking weapon.

That is awesome! Did you restore it or it that how it came out?

This is what it looked like. Just a mass of iron. I carefully chipped off the rust.

Very nice. Is that considered an axe or a hatchet?

Very cool...I always look forward to your posts! Can you post a pic of the bayonets after they have been cleaned?

Man you have made some incredible finds recently! Great stuff

Look like three really fantastic finds to me. I think personally I would be as excited about the bayonets as I would the axe. Super job!

Nice axe. A friend of mine found a boarding axe that looked sort of like yours but also had a spear out of the top. But it is in poor condition compared to yours.

Awesome finds. I would be thrilled with just one of those finds, but recovering all three? That's one productive site. Congrats!
