Title: French Style Huron Indian Pipe Tomahawk Date: c.1880 Description: This is a classic example of a French Style tomahawk from the 1800's. The axe head was traded to the Indians for their fur. Initially traded and used as a tool, Indians quickly saw the lethal potential of a tomahawk and began to re-handle them for use as a weapon from horseback. Across the plains in towns and some travelling blacksmiths would use the axe head provided by the Indian and "haft" it or put a suitable handle on it. Sometimes the Indian would travel into a town to have this service completed and sometimes they would haft or handle their own axe heads but these handle are generally much more crude and primitive. A classic French style forged head from a bygone era. The tomahawk is in excellent condition with no repairs or damage. It is well smoked. Nice hammer forged head and blade with a blacksmith;s hallmark; a crown inside an oval cartouche. Blade shows an impressive cut away of a cross. Also seen is a "French hook" on the bottom of blade. Ash handle is original to the head, classic tear-drop profile. On the ash haft are several old brass tacks. VERY NICE patina all over, really shows its age! Date this axe to no later than 1880. No reasonable offer refused. 21" haft, 9" axe head, 16" long drop. Originates from my grandfather's estate. I guarantee this axe to be authentic. Money back if appraised and is not as I have described it. Thank you so much for looking! Culture: Aboriginal - Huron Indian (Great Lakes)
