Has anyone already suggested a pole weapon head... adapted to a shorter handle ? The possible (modern) writing on the langet is not a good sign, though.

Agree with the others. It appears to be a weapon but I've not seen anything like it. A close up of the chain might give some clues.
Welcome from another Texas member. What part of the state are you in? I'm in B/CS. |

Interesting pry bar finial, presumably for prying open a gap to skewer an opponent inside their armour.
Looks a lot bigger than the subject Texas tomahawk. Looks like it has a rather nasty crack in it too. I wonder how that guy breathes in that fancy suit. Reminds me of a Victorian whalebone corset. .

That implement the guy is carrying reminds me of a slightly fancier version of a box hatchet, complete with the pry/nail puller finial, in the catalog of a tool distributor who imports them from India. Haha, breathing in that outfit ... maybe, like ladies in the antebellum South, they carried vials of smelling salts to revive themselves after frequent swooning due to lack of air! |

How I still wrote boarding axes are more or less similar to the showed piece, too. Here is an interesting side about boarding axes: https://www.boardingaxe.com/
Under "AXES by NATION" you can see many different models. Regards Robin |
