Help us keep this Identification Service alive.
Research materials I have available are quite substantial; however, on some items, information within those materials might be quite sparse. If you choose to snail-mail images, please make sure you have copies or your originals retained for yourself. We do not return images in any format and they become the property of Arms to Armor - The History Store without compensation to you for any use - past, present, or future.
If sending a check or money order, please mail, payable to:
If you have a specific identification question, please see our Identification Request Page. If you are wanting to buy antique or collectible axes, please visit our Online Store and view our Axes for Sale page. You can also buy research materials from one of our affiliates at our Books for Sale pages. |
Below are the images of selected common axes and related
weapons used by selected countries. I will add to this from
time to time - mainly upon request - when identification of
a certain item is requested. My intent is to help the novice collector, not to help line the pockets of pseudo antique dealers. The best advice I can offer to the novice collector is, "READ BOOKS." There are a number of wonderful books available and below I have listed some of my favorites. AGAIN, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! |
