Engineering or battle axe ?

Ciao a tutti
Condivido con voi il piacere di questo oggetto. Questa è un'ascia usata da genieri o è un'ascia da battaglia?. La tipologia è ben nota, ma il suo utilizzo spazia nell'arco di oltre 500 anni. Da circa il 1000 all'inizio del 1600. Fu dapprima tipica dei popoli Franchi del centro europa, poi si è diffusa fino al nord Italia. Secondo la vecchia catalogazione, l'ascia del museo è datata tra la fine del quindicesimo e l'inizio del sedicesimo secolo e proviene dal nord Italia Non ho motivo di modificare tale catalogazione, ma se qualche amico del forum ha qualche dubbio, assicuro che le sue idee saranno seriamente considerate. Grazie per l'attenzione Cesare Hello everyone I share with you the pleasure of this item. Is this ax by engineers or is a battle ax? . The type is well known, but its use extends over more than 500 years. From around 1000 in early 1600. It was typical of the first Frankish peoples of central Europe, then spread to northern Italy. Under the old rating, the ax of the museum dates from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century and comes from Northern Italy I have no reason to change this rating, but if some friend of the forum has any doubt, I assure you that his ideas will be seriously considered. Thank you for your attention Cesare |
Hi Cesare,
As the blade is offset I would say this is a carpenters axe. Regards, Norman. |
Hi Cesare,
From all I can tell by experience I agree with Norman: he stated the correct criterion. Best, Michael |
the carpenter's/shipwright's side axe is still used for traditional boat building and carpentry work. here's one:
