Hi Guys,
It's not a fokos, but what is this? Is it a Nadziak,Czekan, Obuszek?? Not mine but I'm just curious to know your opinion. In Buttin he calls that Russian war axe... Could it be Ottoman with the green velvet? Kubur |

Looks like a Polish/Hungarian noble's war axe or Obuzek/Chekan.
Dimensions? My similar Obuzek: Last edited by kronckew; 29th November 2019 at 05:26 PM. |

I read your posts and it seems that you like this kind of things... So first you confirm that it has nothing to do with the walking shepperd axes or fokos? Then there is no chance to be Russian or Turkish Ottoman? Look at the shaft and the tombak... ![]() |

Looks like it has a wootz blade.

Smeone once suggested to me mine may have once had a decorative cover of velvet. the bottom end of yours does not look like a walking stick end. It appears to be too short to be a walking stick, (fokos or ciupaga). the Hugarian/Polish/Russian areas fluctuated wildly back then, so it could be Russian I suppose. How long is it? I'd expect a walking stick/shepherd's axe cane to be in the range of 30-40 inches (76-101 cm.)with most in the upper half of that range. Could be wootz or bulat, could just be corrosion. would need a polish & etch to corroberate. that test may detract from the value...
