Help: Possible Kalinga Axe

VANDOO · 11th June 2013, 09:54 PM

I AGREE LIKELY KALINGA , I HAVE SEEN THE STAPLE DECORATION ON SPEARS AND HEAD AX FROM THE LATE 1920'S TO EARLY 1930'S. JUDGEING FROM THE PICTURES THE PATINA WOULD BE ABOUT RIGHT FOR THAT TIME.
WHILE THERE MAY HAVE A BOUNTY PAID FOR HEADS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE WITH HEAD AXES THEY ARE NATIVE MADE AS FAR AS I KNOW. THERE WAS PLENTY OF METAL DURING WW2 FLYING AROUND OR LAYING AROUND SO IT WAS A TIME OF PLENTY FOR SWORD MAKERS. NICE ONE A PIECE OF BRASS BULLET CASEING WILL REPLACE THE MISSING BUTT CAP NICELY.
