That's a nice one Chearles

Mine has an all steel head and shaft with horn slabs.
Nice items. Not handled that many, but those that I have always seem well balanced.

The last picture is my Bulova collection.

This one has a very small, yet thick and heavy head
( That's a normal sized zippo).
The head alone weighs about 400 g which on the end of a 65cm shaft makes for a good impact.

Steel shaft this time with a one piece wooden grip rather than horn. Notice how it is not slotted all the way to the butt.

The brass ornamentation around the steel pins is almost identical in both axes.
