French Boarding Axe?

Scallywag76 · 9th April 2025, 11:14 PM

I recently purchased this axe head off eBay and I believe it’s a French boarding axe, possibly private purchase. From blade to spike it measures 9.9 inches long and has a blade of 4.8 inches. The only matching axe I’ve seen online is this one being sold through the Pirate Lair. https://www.thepirateslair.com/9-eur...arding-ax.html Anyone have any thoughts on this? I’m particularly interested in determining how old it may be. Thanks!
