Hey happy to get a Ax Head these day. Hopefully Rev War

“””UPDATE PICS DOWN BELOW”. Went to the Fort and dug this 6” inside the Fort in the white shells. Hard digging. Doing electrolysis now. Any ax men out there to age this beauty? Will take pics after.

Great looking axe. I have never found anything similar. Looks almost like a tomahawk. Congratulations!

 

[Tpmetal]

Tomahawk is my guess as well,

 

[smokeythecat]

I would put it mid 18th century to early 19th. I also want to see it cleaned, we'll know more then.

WOW very cool find from the era. Congrats.

 

[Old Dude]

Congrats. Hope it cleans up well for you.

if that turns out to be a hammer head on the blunt end it is not rev war. Looks to me like a shake axe 1800s

I was thinking the same. I read they had tomahawk axes used during the Rev War.

I hoping it’s more of a pipe like a French pipe tomahawk. One can dream lol

 

[smallfoot]

My opinion is that is a hawk and I'm hoping you find the pole end to be a pipe.

 

[smallfoot]

Do you have a shot from the top to get an idea of thickness?

According to Hollywood it is Revolutionary.
Nice hit!!

Truth, Congrat's to you on a very nice find. Like the others, I look forward to seeing some after pic's of this piece after restoration. Thanks for sharing this with us.

 

[devldog]

Hughett, this is scary. I was thinking the same thing when I saw this pic. I'm thinking Rev War also.

Love that movie

Looks like the kind of ax native Americans bought at Home Depot 250 years ago. Congrats on the tomahawk!

Not a good pic

 

[villagenut]

That one will look good cleaned up.....I will be looking back here for it. Very cool, I love old iron.

As much as I would love to say rev war truth, I am still saying shake hammer. Nice one at that
