Axe
Hi
Submitting this on behalf of a french speaking friend - he bought it in the USA, sold as a native axe/weapon - to me it looks african, but I know about tools not weapons... Can anyone give a positive ID??? If you speak french, you can join and log into the Outils Anciens forum at http://outils-anciens.xooit.fr/t2155...nne.htm#p10940 Thanks in anticipation... |

That is a mean looking axe. Beautiful.
What is the explanation for the variations found among Naga axes? |

My thanks to all who contributed to a positive ID for this axe, additionally, Michel (the francophone owner from Canada) has asked me to pass on his thanks.
