Below is a boarding axe as part of decorations on one of my small-swords. It is hallmarked by a London silversmith to what I believe is the year 1755. The lion with a snake/serpent in his paws was a popular Victory motif for the British. The snake would at various times represent the plethora of diverse enemies of England, most notably the French.
