16thC war axe with bird's beak
Today I found a nice german equestrian war axe with bird's beak at the PAN Amsterdam.
nice encountering the real thing among the many fakes offered today. I think I have this decoration seen before on a musket barrel?? somewhere on this forum, I just do not recall, where? provenance: Emden Rustkammer. best, |

 Beautiful piece Jasper, I really enjoy seeing these workmanlike weapons. Much prefer them to the highly decorated items usually seen in museums. |
