Hi again!
ebay: 7758311210 Almost bid on that pair. But they look to recent production, I would say afert wwII. And that two spears on the handle? I do not see any practical use for them for a warior. What do you think? |

The winning bidder havent show up... so here they are
![]() Rehafted, but still nice. The only minus is that some "knowledgeable" restorer chromed them ![]() I saw anotherone verry similar, pratically the same style of piercing on an well known website and it is atribuited to be a saddle axe from Carpathia/Transilvania, 19th century. What do you think? Anything I can do to remove that chrome ![]() |

I think we have seen some of these pierced axes described as coming from Afghanistan, and made in the 20th C. Perhaps there is a thread on the old Forum.
Ian. Yep. Comments are here but pictures are no longer available: http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000406.html |

![]() As far as getting the chrome off, very carefully you can try a brass wire wheel or buffer. Very delicately. |
