It is well-seen why TXHunt approached you personally Jim.
Reading through this thread makes me wonder if this is actually an arms and armour forum.
I'm all for pertinent digression - but really!
Well-done, you have upheld the faculty as you so often do.
I would love to have owned this piece, even though it is far outside my field of interest.
Keep up the good work.

Keith, thank you so much for posting on this, and the kind words!
I will say that I too would love to have this amazing horsemans axe regardless of it being out of my areas! Its unique character and well established antiquity makes it extremely interesting.
