don't have one yet, tho i've read a lot about them. almost bought a british one that was used on a revenue cutter & with broad arrow & rack number brass plate. sadly was outbid. it was in pristine condition as the cutter had been kept up as a training ship after being decommissioned. i'll get one eventually if i come across it. i do have a descendant tho, british fire axe:
my favourite antique axes:

african axe

fokos

bullova (moustache axe)
just ordered this one today, kinda boarding axe-ish: 127 cm/2.4 kilos
