  1. Are these available for public perusal? I'd love to see them first hand.

  2. Please note that these trade axes are of common design used in 17-1800s and early 1900s. they bear no relation at all to the Beardmore Viking Axe in design, purpose, nor general shape.

    1. Who cares about Viking Axes....these are Native Indian Trade Axes which are true examples of what was traded to Natives.
