Hi Terry,

Yes that is often the case, even the anchor mark is relatively rare and that's why this axe seemed so unusual.
I think this axe may have been a prototype or kept as a 'pattern' but I have no supporting evidence for this, only the lack of any others that show they were made at Châtellerault.

Regards, CC
