Description:

18th Century Forged Iron Bearded Axe

Great example of a bearded axe head, early to mid 18th century, circa 1740-1760. 

Take a moment to click on the various photographs and you’ll see you can produce enlargements that showcase the wonderful original signs of hand forged blacksmith made construction. 

Axes such as this were used for a variety of purposes, both chopping and when held properly in ones hand they could have been drawn towards the user acting as a shave. 

The design capitalized on the maximum length of a blade with a lighter form by design. 

 

Measures just under 7"  down the blade.
