Got the papers on the provenance today.
Unfortunately, it is not mentioned where the ax was found, which is sad.
But I received a copy of receipt of sale by Philippe Misslier at the Kassel Waffenboerse 2016 where it is stated that the axe was part of Charles Buttin's collection.
Unfortunately, it is a receipt for a lump sum purchase of x number of axes and other items where all have been included in Buttin's collection and some were published in Rumilly in 1933.
My axe is thus not specifically mentioned but one of many.
How do you think it affects the value of the provenance?
