Probably circa 1770. This spontoon pipe tomahawk has excellent form and diminutive proportions. The handforged iron head measures 7-1/2" overall with a double edged blade of about 3-3/4" with two decorative loops following and moldings both in front of and behind the eye. The small 1-1/8" bowl has a brass band around the top. Complete with a later silver banded and silver inlaid wooden haft with a brass cap at the top. A very nice pipe tomahawk with excellent form. CONDITION: Head retains a corroded, heavy brown surface. Tip has been rounded. Some minor losses due to thinning around the top of the bowl. Haft retains a dark patina.
