xxSOLDxxPIPE TOMAHAWK-Eastern Early 19th Century

This is a very interesting pipe tomahawk in pristine condition with its original ash haft in very dry untouched surface.  The iron head measures 9 inches from blade to top of pipe bowl and has a steel insert.  I would date this pipe tomahawk circa 1820-1850 and eastern in origin with early western influences.  The hand forged head is very unique with the tulip shaped bowl being made from a .50 caliber rifle barrel and the barrel stem is high and octagon faceted--very unique.  It has a raised cheveroned saddle with a raised panel where the blade meets the eye.  A unique original wonderful pipe axe from the first half of the 19th century.  The haft is adorned with three early brass tacks and has a small beaded drop which may or may not be original.**SOLD**

Condition:  Excellent and original.
