Period correct or original none other need be posted here.
1840's vintage felling ax.View attachment 7067
Anyway,let me give this a try.The knife is a repro,not an original.I wanted a D-Guard bowie,and after some trys with sutlers,and a few disappointments,I started to lookin into it better.Suffice it to say,I ran across a thread on a site about bowies,and was impressed with Dans work and his dedication.Also he wasnt priced sky-high.The Knife ,as far as i know,is styled after an original in his collection that i ask him to reproduce.The sheath is something I believe he makes for all his knife customers as a courtesy.Dont quote me on that.If my post is somehow improper for this thread,I apologize.Provenance of the knife and sheath please.
The upper hatchet has a very unusual shape. Does it have some special purpose?
