Hi Mark,

OK I'll add India to the list!
The axe being very much part of the weapon culture there, it would be good to investigate what coastal states had some naval presence before the Brits came.
I have an Indian issue 1845 pattern cutlass with the arrow mark and an 'I' so maybe there is a brit axe issued for India out there somewhere.

I have not seen the blunderbuss/axe or the Chuck Wills book. can you send me a picture of it, if you have one.

regards, David.
