Bullova for comment

A FEW MORE,
THE FIRST ONE WAS REFERED TO AS A SAFAVID AX, I AM GUESSING THAT IS THE TRIBE RATHER THAN THE NAME OF THE AX TYPE, BUT AS I HAVEN'T LOOKED IT UP IT IS ONLY A GUESS. PERHAPS A MEMBER WITH MORE KNOWLEGE IN THIS FIELD CAN GIVE US MORE INFORMATION.

And it is in mine collection...

CONGRADULATIONS !!

IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE A FORUM MEMBER HAS SUCH A FINE TREASURE IN HIS COLLECTION. I AM NOT SURE WHERE I GOT THE PICTURES AS I ADD GOOD EXAMPLES TO MY REFRENCE BASE FROM MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES. I THINK YOUR EXAMPLE WAS FOR SALE AT THE TIME I GOT THE PICTURES BUT UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT WRITE DOWN ANY INFORMATION ABOUT IT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD INFORMATION TO SHARE ON IT SUCH AS WHERE IT WAS MADE , WHICH GROUP USED IT AND APPROXIMATE AGE?
THE FEW EXAMPLES OF THESE AXES I HAVE ARE NOT VERY FANCY BUT ARE LIGHT AND FAST IN THE HAND AND HANDLE VERY WELL FOR AN AX. I SUSPECT THE TRIBES USING THESE AXES HAD GOOD TECKNIQUES FOR USING THEM NOT JUST A BUNCH OF HEAVY CHOPPING TYPE OF ATTACK.

Stone puts it that all bullovas are from the wild tribes of Chota Nagpur.
He characterizes some of them by specific tribe. The split blade one from post #7 would be Khond; so seems to be mine and Bill's.
