CONDITION NOTES:

Good/VG antique condition with moderate -to- severe overall wear from normal use over the years but we see NO major breaks or repairs. HANDLE IS NOT SECURE TO HEAD. It does insert with good pressure...good enough for display purposes but would absolutely need to be more firmly attached prior to any practical use. Blade edge is quite smooth and remains very sharp. Minimal rust and areas of minor -to- moderate pitting throughout. Superb patina to entire piece! See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures 26" long, overall, including handle. Axe head is 12-5/8" long, at blade edge x 7-5/8" wide, from blade to butt x 1-1/4" thick, at butt. Total weight is 8 lbs. 0.0 oz..
