Those are nice looking hawks.Thanks for the pics :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[onepaw]

very nice.

 

The hawk in your avatar looks 18th century North American, but this one looks a little Viking, due to the up swept top of the head. Would that be correct?

 

[rabjr]

Very nice! :thumbsup:

 

[anvil1231]

Thanks for compliment everyone.

Carl, That one I believe would fall somewhere in the 18th century North American also.

 

[longshot47]

I'm convinced!
Primo job :thumbsup:

Very nice like the one with pewter decoration on the handle . ? how do you have your handle attached ?

 

[anvil1231]

It is attached with a wedge like a hammer

If you get the chance look at the book FIREARMS TRAPS & TOOLS OF THE MNT MEN by Carl P Russell there are quite a variety of tomahawks some that have been found look like a small halbred. I was surprised that some have the spike at a more hook like bend . The English ,French,Spanish,Russians and vikings all brought things to this country or other ares were native americans would have traded and took to there homes and may have traded to there native friends and or were taken from them in battle

-----didn't the Indians set up house keeping before the Vikings showed up-----

 

[pichou]

Yeah, we were here first. AND we kicked those Viking illegals out. :rotf:

Now, back to the Viking comment... your typical trade axe is flat on top. That's typical, and trade axe.

Spike hawks and pipe hawks, spontoon hawks... whole different animal. None, that I m aware of, look like...

Viking axes.
:haha:
