US SPIKE HEAD TOMAHAWK BELT AXE, OLD HUNTING KNIFE TOOL

AN ODD 'METAL GRIP' TOMAHAWK...WITH A 'PYRAMID SPIKE' HEAD !!

 YOU ARE BIDDING ON A WEIRD BELT AXE....THAT IS JUST 'RIGHT' FOR A WALK IN THE DEEP WOODS!!     THIS OLD 'TOMAHAWK'  IS ALL BUSINESS!  THE UNUSUAL HEAD IS  5 3/4" LONG FROM 'SPIKE'-TO-EDGE.  A HEAVY METAL FABRICATION - THE FORGED SPIKE APPEARS TO BE A SEPERATE PIECE FROM THE BLADE ...WITH BOTH PIECES FITTED TOGETHER AND RIVETTED TO THE METAL HANDLE REINFORCEMENT!!  IT HAS  A 3 3/4"  EDGE.  THE AXE IS UNMARKED, EXCEPT FOR A LARGE / ROUND 'MADE IN U.S.A.' STAMP.    THE 'SPIKE' HEAD HAS A LOW PYRAMIDAL SHAPE.  THE METAL IS MOSTLY AGE DARKENED WITH SOME SMOOTH WEAR ON THE GRIP AND PATCHES OF 'CLEANED' OXIDATION. 

THE STAMPED METAL REINFORCED GRIP HAS A POSITIVELY MEDIEVAL LOOK !!  THE OVAL METAL GRIP EXTENSION HAS A LOWER SEAM, AND IS SECURED BY THREE IRON RIVETS - SOLID & SECURE.   THE INTERESTING HAND GRIP HAS JUST  2" OF THE WOODEN GRIP PROTRUDING.  THE POMMEL HAS A 1 3/4" IRON 'HANGING RING'. OVERALL LENGTH IS 13"....A NICE HANDY SIZE.  APART FROM THE 'MADE IN USA' STAMP, IT LOOKS MORE LIKE SOMETHING MADE IN THE EARLY 1200'S ...THAN IN THE EARLY 1900'S!!    VERY NASTY LOOKING.

I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ONE WAS USED FOR  MEAT PACKING, OR AS A HUNTING AXE FOR DISPATCHING & PROCESSING LARGE ANIMALS...AND OTHER CHORES.

AN IMPRESSIVE 'BELT AXE' LIKE THIS WOULD PROBABLY WORK WELL FOR FOR THE  HUNTER !!  A GOOD ONE FOR THE COLLECTOR OF 'INTERESTING' TOOLS TOO !!
