Please don't think that Corrado - all information and help is always appreciated. There are just not that many people interested in boarding axes!
Aries documents are not that easy to find and although dating from the late 1960's early 70's they are still mostly accurate - so it is a good post.

I also have an English translation if anyone is interested.

I appreciate the drawings too. French is not one of my languages, unless I can scan it in and paste it in Google translate , so I did not comment further. Again, Vielen Danke. Do not feel slighted.

CC, An English translation would be most helpful and also appreciated.

Hi Kronckew,
It took me a while to find a copy of the original and I eventually got one from the British Library on condition that I did not reproduce or publish anywhere. So I am reluctant to put it on here, but I will pm you the English translation.
Can't find it on the pc at the moment so may have to scan it in.
I should warn you it's a rough translation!!

Regards,
CC

Thanks. French does seem to be a bit less precise (with ambiguities) language anyway

Udo, please don't take that approach, that entry with Aries was perfect!!! and although I do not speak any other languages, I can easily muddle through French in some degree, especially along with images I wish I had Aries, but it is the one resource I never was able to obtain. Expensive and hard to find complete sets.
Your entries with Aries recently 'pulled me out of the hole' when I was stumped with a sword I was researching, and I envied your holding of that valuable reference!!! not to mention your thoughtfulness in seeking and presenting it.

There are 'mountains of knowledge' here, and in the world of arms study, I would go as far as saying, here are the 'Himalayas', and your peak is very high! along with so many others.
Like CC, I have learned so much here, and every effort I make to try to add what I can is to give back in gratitude.

It is very much quid pro quo, and we all learn together.

For me, seeing this entry from Aries was wonderful, and as I mentioned, I have now learned about these axes, and especially from a much envied resource which myself and many others will probably never have.

REALLY good work here guys!!! Thank you.

As I have the complete French volumes of the "Aries", a really fantastic source, you are welcome with further questions. I'll try to help where I can.

Hi, I've emailed you the english translation.

My translator said she was fluent!..... but not so easy translating 18/19th century terminology for axes so some of the word choices are a bit strange but you'll get the drift.

More pictures and info available on my French page at boardingaxe.com if anyone likes axes.

Regards, CC

Hello

only to say that the upper word ends in G E O T and the lower word in R E S (Freres?)

Affectionately

Yes, PEUGEOT FRERES, as seen by Carlos. Although, i guess, a peculiar situation in that, usually this mark has a deeper stamping and is shown next to a symbol (lion ...).
