Some amazing displays! Thanks for the input and sharing examples. The riveted haft certainly seems to the norm. That is the first I have seen with horn inserts, and it's very attractive.
Royston, the brass bands added to the rivets must make for an incredibly sturdy haft! With the "tungi" I just couldn't help but wonder if the axe head was on backwards, but I suppose not. In the the display pics the more "traditional" axe heads seem to predominate, but the "L" shaped heads with straight line edges were obviously popular too. I have always found those a bit odd to handle. I am assuming there was a certain method to maximizing their use. Thanks again for the input, and the great pics! |
