Thanks for the information,Greg. I just saw a naval dirk from ca.1805 with rivits through the hilt to secure it, so I see that you are right that this is a possibility. Thanks!

I don't want to get into valuations, but allow me to comment that I've seen similar 'hawks sell for obscene amounts of money.

If this is the real deal, Mark, you may have won the lottery!

Thanks, Andrew. It's always nice to be reminded when we collectors get the occasional bargain. I love the axe. Here's a site I stumbled upon by accident with some of those prices (eBay prices, so some of these would probably sell for more in edged weapon catalogs). The guys on this site seem to have as much affection for their collecting area as we do, colplete with knowledge. I've definately been bit by the 'axe' bug now! Probably try and pick up a few more of these over time.
