19TH CENTURY PLAINS PIPE TOMAHAWK WITH PIERCED HEART DESIGN.Well preserved large 8-1/2" head with 3-1/4" cutting edge has cast pierced heart & two diamonds as part of design. This is among the earliest cast heads you will find, mid 19th Century. Some filed notch decoration, haft 17" overall with fire branding as possibly original to this head having lost its spacer as it still fits quite tightly even without it. Regardless, haft is very old and matches overall condition of head. This is aesthetically pleasing & unusual head. SIZE: As noted above. PROVENANCE: An extraordinary private estate collection of a distinguished Virginia gentleman. CONDITION: Very good overall. Haft has hand worn patina, head has iron patina, overall mottled gray with staining and pin prick pitting, old sharpening. 52751-51 JGS (2,000-3,000)
