Original U.S. / British Early Revolutionary War era Colonial Blacksmith Hand Forged Camp Axe with Replaced Shaft

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a remarkable and authentic piece of history - a camp    axe that was likely made by a British or American blacksmith during the 18th century. The axe is in heavily pitted and oxidized condition, and has a distinct look that suggests it was ground dug. The blade is designed for cutting and chopping, and was likely used for tasks such as felling small trees, building structures and making firewood. The handle, however, appears to have been replaced at a later date which might have been due to wear and tear. The handle is a more recent addition, but it is still a great representation of the trade axes that were used in the colonial era.

It seems that this axe head was dug out of the ground, as there are evident signs of old pitting on the head. The length of the head of the axe measures approximately 7¾ inches with an edge width of 4 inches, while the handle is about 25 inches long.

This is a beautiful example of a Revolutionary War era Colonial blacksmith made camp axe! Comes ready for display.
