Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1042305 |
Here we have a nice old what I believe to be a real old US military style hatchet head that I cleaned up and mounted up on one of my fully custom hand made hardwood handles...…….Id take a guess and say by the stamping that this head is World War 1 era...This hatchet is well beyond sharp, its not a toy and great care should be used when opening the parcel when she arrives as well as great safety and care when in use...........You are buying this piece directly from "...Uncle Pimpys Axe Palace" and this is all MY ( Jesse Reed's) handwork.....Now back to business, This axe is approx. 15 inches long and roughly 2 pounds total weight.............The head has no cracks, huge chips or welds or other related damage...........I cleaned all of the loose rust off of her and then mirror polished both sides of the razor sharp cutting edge as well as the hammer face and left all of the other age marks and natural patina in her, I think it makes for a killer detail effect to see the polished steel up against the naturally aged steel.........The factory US makers marking is all there and fully legible.................When I got this head it had a broken off handle on her, at some point somebody pinned the head, I was able to salvage the old pin and reuse it in her new life..............................All in all a cool old head and I hope you see the same beauty in her that I do............Like I said this axe is sharp so she should not be considered a toy at any time, if she hits a finger or toe it will remove it...............The handle is one of MY classic shapes and is all made by me, by hand here in Oregon at the world famous " Uncle Pimpys Axe Palace"......The handle is made out of one piece of solid Ash...............I set the head using both wood wedges and epoxy and got a nice tight fit that looks good on both the top and bottom...........I sanded the handle silky smooth, gave her a flame job and used several coats of clear enamel for the final finish.............Please ask questions.....I do combine when ever possible....cheaper on you and easier on me....shipping quoted in auction is intended for the lower 48 United States only....all others may be more.....by bidding on this axe you verify and confirm that you are over the age of 18 and that seller(myself ) is not liable for injury or damage that may occur from use or misuse of this axe.....................................To all who may be interested...Look for "Uncle Pimpys Axe Palace" on facebook for more pictures and other odds and ends....thank you and good luck.......I am giving you the option on shipping of either parcel post or priority, I recomend priority because it reduces the chance of damage in transit, but its up to you, please specify when you pay witch shipping method you want, either way I will insure the parcel at my cost.......... ......................BY BIDDING ON OR BUYING THIS AXE YOU ARE REALLY SUPPORTING HONEST SMALL BUSINESS AMERICA, AND FOR THAT I THANK YOU!!!!!!!........BE GOOD HUMANS!!!!......THANKS AGAIN FOR SUPPORTING THE SMALL HONEST GUY, JESSE \m/................Posted with eBay Mobile
