    Antique original
    civil war hatchet / boarding axe ax
    Civil war
    HATCHET
    boarding axe
    United States Army / navy
    Classic civil war era hatchet or boarding axe
    Good condition
    It has a straight 14” hickory handle
    The head is about 6” long
    The upper section where the head attaches is slightly worn and split from period use …
    The head looks like it was purposely reinstalled upside down ,… ( giving it a more menacing arc-of -impact , more suitable for fighting than chopping wood )
    The hammer face on the reverse side of the blade has a chipped along the upper edge -
    Decent collectible / displayable condition -
    There is no evidence of severe pitting or over sharpening
    This style ax head is identical to documented examples excavated at civil war battle sites
    The straight hardwood handle is a classic indicative of 1860 mfg
    It’s not perfect - but then again I am not asking a high three figure price for it !
    These are getting very hard to find -
    A must have for every civil war collector !
    It could have been used by the United states / U.S. army or the C.S.A. / confederates / rebels -
    A great relic for your advanced civil war collection
    DONT PASS IT UP !
