CONDITION
This axe is in authentic antique condition, a dark patina & some pitting as to be expected with an early tool. The handle has a large check right through it under the head & someone has varnished the bulbous part of the handle at some stage- probably worth stripping it off carefully. A gorgeous & hard to find sabotiers hatchet.
Please check the photos as they are part of the description.
