This One is For Bruce 2ndoldman

[Hi-Lo]

Based on my research it is a French trade axe that made its way across the big pond to present day Ontario sometime in the seventeenth century. It has forger's marks on both sides; two per side, that correspond to sixteenth century Biscayne forger's marks. The round pole does not correspond to the earliest Biscayne axes that had an ovate pole shape.

The following is the excellent site that I garnered much of my information from.

That is a very sweet trade axe.
This is another good source for information.
