Axe

So I found this axe the other day. Kind of interesting because the poll is split.

Congratualtions on the old Axe head recovery!

Do you think it was made this way?

Yes, that's how they forge those and they go back at least to Civil War era, because that's how the axe heads are I find on all Civil War sites and how they are identified as to being Civil War era. Later axes (although I'm no axe expert for sure) do not have that split forged seam down the back side.

Wow. I've never seen one split like that.
