    Strange spike tomahawk two????

    :) Sorry guys, the wood is not cherry or orange. It is white birch. The face itself is a burl root of the tree. The part you hold in your hand is the tree part above the ground. You can't see it very well but the very end of the handle still has the bark on it and it is white birch. Need little...

    Strange Spike Tomahawk???

    :surrender: Hey Guys cool off a little. To start with this hawk doesn't have a flat tip on it. It has a very sharp point and if you were to reach out and touch someone with it, it could easily go clean through his arm or neck or what ever. You can't see it in my photo's, but the tip is bent a...

    Strange Spike Tomahawk???

    Hi Wolf, No touchmarks on the head. Hand forged. I think the handle has been replaced, but it still is a nice one. I got it out of a house where the guy died and his wife wanted to sell off his old stuff. I pulled six Kentucky rifles, this hawk, and a cap lock hand gun out of this place. They...

    Strange Spike Tomahawk???

    Hi All, I bought this hawk some years ago and had it on my wall. A friend of mine saw it and said he would like to buy it. I have never seen one quite like it. Has anyone out there? Any idea of value? It doesn't look like a repro but I am not sure. Thanks, Big Ralph [/img] [/img]

    Research on New York Gunmaker?

    Research on New York Gunmaker?

    Hi All, I am new to this group and I hope I am in the right section. I am trying to learn something about a gunmaker from NY state. I am told that this man was upstate somewhere. He built a friend of mine, [who has since gone to the happy hunting ground], three Kentucky type rifles. I don't...
