NEW - Rifleman's Axe
SOLD - Rifleman's Axe After looking at several original axes, one thing becomes clear, many of these were quite small, intended for dismembering game and light camp chores. With that in mind, this axe is correctly sized, with the head measuring 5 1/2 inches x 2 inch cutting edge, hafted to a 13 1/2 inch handle. $200
NEW - Rifleman's Poll Axe
SOLD - Rifleman's Poll Axe This beautiful little axe features a head cast in gunmetal bronze. Reeves Goring made the casting from an original axe. It has been finely detail filed, hand polished, and aged. It is fitted with a handle of high-grade, curly maple. The bronze is quite a bit tougher than regular soft brass and would be suitable for light work. Axe measures 16 inches tall, head is 6 1/4 inches long. $210
NEW - Pipe Tomahawk
Hand Forged Pipe Tomahawk Head forged from a rifle barrel with hardened steel bit welded in for the cutting edge. This hawk features extensive file work, an exceptional curly maple handle, and pewter inlay. Carved antler plug caps off the handle at the top. Aged finish. Axe measures 18 1/4 inches tall, head is 6 7/8 inches long by a 2 3/8 inch cutting edge.
$750

Colonial Coins
Reproductions of some of the most common coins in circulation in colonial North America. The colonies and early US were always short of hard currency of their own. English, French, and Spanish colonial coins made up much of the currency in circulation. These coins are cast in fine pewter from molds made directly from original coins, so they capture the wear and look of actual circulated coins. Coins are $2 each, or $12 for a set of all 7 coins.
