Thanks Mark.
Good British boarding axes are hard to find and this one is in a poor state. It's photographed on its better side as the other is missing the langet.
A good Sargent came up for sale at an auction in London last year. But it went for silly money - way past my bidding limit. More annoying was that the buyer contacted me a few days later, through my website, to ask my opinion on his new acquisition.
The pain slightly diminished by me knowing how much he paid for it!
