This spike tomahawk originates from the prop department of Paramount Studios, acquired from senior prop man, Eddie Langdon. This ax is one of 30 manufactured with a cast brass blade, nickel plated with octagonal shaped hardwood shaft and leather bands. Six were also made of steel. You can see a motion picture still of Indian warrior Boris Karloff wielding one of these weapons. This tomahawk was on loan to the Fort Pitt Museum and The Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania between August of 2013 and October of 2014, as part of the "Cecil DeMille's Unconquered: History Meets Hollywood at Fort Pitt" Exhibit.
