Pickaxes of the Thuggee

Thanks very much Spiral. I figured if anybody were to locate one of these British entrenching axes it would be you

I agree, the rather distorted image of that tulwar pretty much says it on the potential accuracy of the weapons!
The shape of the head on this entrenching tool seems more in line with what I picture with the thuggee form with more of a claw type shape (without the shovel of course

.

All the best,
Jim
