Hi Spottedbull,
I hope to have a paper published in the Arms and Armour journal later in the year. I had one published last year on British Boarding axes.
Once it's written I will update the American page on the website - as you can see it is fairly light on content.
There are very few survivors of these axes so if you have one or know anyone who does - please send a private message.
There are maybe only 5 or so of the first two types which have survived, although there are more of the 1812 model, so every one is important. I plan on visiting the USS Constitution museum this summer to view their collection.
Thanks Mark and Fernando for the kind words and the link.
Regards,
David.
