I have been trying to get an exhibit from Musandam that is claimed to be a wootz head Jerz... and of the battle axe size about the size of a mans hand... much bigger than the usual quite small forms.

I also understand that the curator at the Al Ain Museum has a treatise on the subject of Jers axes and based on quite a collection though as yet I have not seen it...

Further axes can be seen on http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showt...LACE+COLLECTION A brilliant thread!

Spiral there does not seem to be a single treatise. In any book on Islamic arms and armour you tend to get a couple of pages devoted to maces and axes but Ive never come across a work that discusses the evolution of the weapon over time for the different cultures and includes the major examples.

If one were produced I would be first on the order list. Judging from the pin interest pages Im not alone in being very interested in these types of weapons.

Hi Horsa, I think your repley is for Berber Dagger rather than myself?

But thank you anyway!
