Early War Axe (Signed Hallmarked) - Wooden and leather handle is a replacement. Signed z or n with 2 dots on either side of the slant in the letter. Stamped with that mark twice. Head is over 7 inches long. Some edge chips in the blade edge. From the top of the head to the bottom of the handle it is 18.75 inches long. Some pitting. Provenance: Acquired from a single owner private estate collection originating in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The collection was carefully stored in Slatington, Pennsylvania for approximately five years prior to being consigned to the auction house. The consignor noted that the collection had long-standing ties to the Gettysburg region, reflecting a deep appreciation for historical preservation and Americana. This fresh-to-market estate offering presents an exceptional opportunity for collectors, as the items have remained largely untouched in storage for several years before entering the auction market.
