Sorry to be so short in posting. I bought one of these from a dealers table some years ago, some of the others there were really poorly made, I got the good one. Later I took it to Leeds Armoury Museum where we all had a look and then went through the library there to see what we could find.
There it was in one of the books on Islamic Arms, Turkoman battleaxe and a well known type. I have no doubt that the type crosses borders in that area.... I have also seen one (possibly mine even after I sold it on) listed as a 15thC Gothic battle axe at an OMG value. |
