Yes boarding axes are a minefield but I do appreciate the fact that forum members and especially both you and Gene will put your opinions down and allow the discussion to develop - how...

Sorry Atlantia, I should maybe have said. It was offered to me directly, before being put up for sale, by someone that I had bought several items from in the past and I accepted on condition it was a...

Hi Atlantia - the rivets are a different colour but definitely steel, which is another reason I think the haft has been replaced - they are definitely not copper. It's just my poor photography. And...

Thanks Mark I was hoping for your comments. Interesting points - so maybe not so definite after all then! I hope the other axe experts will chip in as well.
And Jim thanks for the date ref the end...

British Tomahawk Boarding Axe

Gentlemen,

I would like to share my latest addition with you and for once I am not asking for help with the identification!
I assume the handle has been replaced at some time in its life, when...

Corrosion

Hi Colin,
Being new here I hesitated to suggest this earlier but I have run it past Jim McDougall and he agrees that it may be worth considering.
Your pictures show a lot of active corrosion and...

I have to admit I did not pick up on the diamond cross section, which would make it unlikely to be made by a US blacksmith of the period, who has suddenly been required to produce weapons for the...

Yes, interesting piece and I agree it definitely has a cutlass feel to it. The tapered wooden handle is also reminiscent of pictures of early US from around the Rev War, as Mark has already said....

Thanks gentlemen.
I think this axe remains in the 'not sure' locker for now.

Although Gilkerson covers the 'standard' Scandinavian, British, French and US patterns he also reminds us that...

Langets

Thanks guys, always good to get your input. Mark, you are right about boarding axes - don't see one for months and then several come along. Although I'm beginning to wish I'd stuck to cutlasses! ...

Boarding Axe or Fire Axe

Gentlemen,

I thought this axe was definitely a French Boarding Axe but now I'm not so sure. Your opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks M. The Asian connection is a good theory which I had not considered. I originally thought early American or European. It was heavily rusted and I treated it with de-corroder fluid which...

Hi fernando,

Blade mark for identification.

Hi,

Can anyone help with the mark on this cutlass blade or even suggest a country of origin. It appears to be a plant or a tree or even perhaps bamboo. The handle is also unusual and incorporates...

Excellent pictures Kronckew and I think I agree with you that the French have the edge when it comes to the elegance factor.

Thanks for your input guys.
You make some good points. I think you are right about the blacksmith construction as the lines are a little rudimentary. As for the patina it is fairly even over the...
