Hi all, even Jim's extensive library could not help so I'm repeating my request for anyone with a copy of:
Storia dell'arma bianca italiana: Da Waterlo al nuovo millennio, by Cesare Calamandre to let me know so that I can check a reference to an Italian Boarding axe. I have a picture so it may not be necessary to translate from the Italian as well. Thanks, CC. ps: Mark, I have sent you a pm. |

I have that book. What exactly are you looking for? I don't understand your question.

I misread your post, I thought you wrote that you had the picture of the Italian axe from the Calamandrei book...so here it is.

No problem. Glad to have been helpful.
I had an axe similar to that one construction-wise. The head was a little bigger than the axes in Boarders Away. I have seen them described on the internets as WWI Italian army corps of engineers axes or trench-making picks and such. |
