axe Axe identification

[Jackmc123]

Hello all, 

I bought this spear and Jackson axe at a Carboot yesterday for £1. 

Ive searched the Internet for hours trying to find the model and age of it but there's litterly nothing. Have any of use seen this type of one before? 

It weights about 1lb an it's very small, at first I though it just had plenty of use and the edge has wore off a cm or so but when I looked at it properly the bevel looks like it hasn't been wore off at all. 

Cheers for the help! 

👍

Why ? 🥴

It's a hatchet really if it's that small

It looks like someone has been using it as a splitting wedge from the hammer the back has had.

There is an axe junkies group on facebook.

 

Maybe they would be able to help out?

That's an executioner's axe. Repurposed in more recent times as a splitting wedge, obviously.

I suppose spending a pound and being entertained for a few hours on the internet is good value for money. Have you thought about going on the Antiques Roadshow🤔. Even if you don’t get any info on your axe head it would be worth it just to meet Fiona Bruce👍
