I recently acquired this Dutch boarding axe but I am not sure whether it came before the Dutch Navy adopted French weapons, served alongside those or was merely a prototype.
Does anyone else own or has seen one for sale or at auction or can they direct me to any book reference for it? The axe is unusual in having a Scandinavian flare to the blade, French style square eye and integrated side langets normally associated with British axes. It is 52cm long and blade to spike is 25cm. Any information would be appreciated. Regards, CC. |
