I know that some peeps only frequent either the Ethno or European forum, so I thought I'd ask here as well to catch the Euro' only members.
These have become a subject of some debate. If you haven't caught the discussion so far.... Plausible theories for their origins (so far): Indian Eastern European Arabian My feelings are that whatever their origin, they are clearly a distinct type and we should be able to identify them by other known examples. I've been wrong so far! Heres the other thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...t=13791&page=2 Dimensions of axes are: The larger axe head is 13.5cm/10cm, Weighing (approx) 380g minus the shaft. The smaller axe head is 10.5cm/9.25cm weighing about the same: 380g. Shafts appear to be crude replacements. Several forumites have put forward a solid case for the possibility of these being European, hopefully someone will recognise them. Anyone seen this type before? Best Gene |
