Original Item: Only One Available. This is a remarkable and authentic piece of history – a camp axe head that was likely made by a British or American blacksmith during the late 18th or early 19th century. The axe is in heavily pitted and oxidized condition, and has a distinct look that suggests it was ground dug. The blade is designed for cutting and chopping, and was likely used for tasks such as felling small trees, building structures and making firewood.

It seems that this axe head was dug out of the ground, as there are evident signs of old pitting on the head. The length of the head of the axe measures approximately 5 inches with an edge width of 3 5/8 inches, but there is some chipping in the edge of the blade. One side of the blade is marked with a 6 or similar shape.

This is a beautiful example of a Revolutionary War era Colonial blacksmith made camp axehead! Comes ready for display.
