Thanks for all the images of the 'boarding axes' - I will send the link on to my Canadian friend who sent me the picture of the one discovered in Quebec. I have seen almost identical from the Roman era, so it is likely (as with the billhook and other edge tools) a shape that has remained in common use for hundreds, of not thousands, of years....

Re the billhook that started this line, it is back for sale again - I'll send Dmitry a PM with the link.... thus avoiding any controversy in a public forum..

One of the great things about this and other forums is the sharing of knowledge, and expertise....
