This early tomahawk has a head that measures approx. 8 1/4" across by 3 1/8" at the bit. The blade quickly tapers down to 3/4" at the joint with the eye. The opposite side forms a 3 1/8" long 4-sided diamond spike. The molding on each side of the eye is typically plain vertical lines with a central valley. The haft is 13 1/4" long and swells slightly at the eye, then narrows near the top, gradually widening throughout its length to 1 1/4" before finally tapering to a point. CONDITION: the head has a dark gray patina with very light nicks to the edge. The haft shows honest wear, with darkened areas toward the base of the haft, as one would expect. (02-23584/BF). $3,000-5,000.
