  2. Thank you gentlemen, George N.M. is tin bronze with a small amount of silicon,that's right, I do everything by hand with files, punches and whetstones, large grinding stones.
  3. Several new bronze blades. The Bronze Age in the Carpathians....Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary. Dating ... wide ... between 1700 B.C. and 1100 B.C
  4. Thanks Gentlemen. George, this pattern, as well as all others made on bronze or iron, engraves by hand a sharpened piece of iron wire with a stylus. I deal with experimental archeology, so I naturally use tools, both stone and bronze. In the case of bronze stocked axes, in my opinion, they fulfill their tasks very well, both as a tool and a weapon. Of course, the technique of using them for e.g. processing hard wood (oak, beech, ash, etc.) is completely different than that of a modern ax.
  5. The Bronze Age in Europe was the dominance of solar cults whose main attribute were axes as cult objects. I present a few of my authorship. 1.Bronze ceremonial ax from Krottenthal, Germany, 1300 - 1100 B.C. The two magnificent weapons belong to the earliest discoveries kept at the Archäologische Staatssammlung (Archaeological State Collection). In c.1784, a farmer in Krottenthal in Lower Bavaria dug up and sold some weapons. Quite obviously, the weapons belonged to a depot find, but most of the pieces probably went to the furnace. At least it was possible to save two pieces. The axe was brought to the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften (Bavarian Academy of Sciences) in 1808 as a weapon of "outstanding beauty". The affiliation of the lance with the trove is not quite so clear. In the Nationalmuseum's (National Museum) old collection, it was the only object of the same quality from an unknown location. Because of the very similar patina, it was assigned to the Krottenthal Find. The axe is unique. The dating to the thirteenth to the eleventh centuries BC is based on the age of the lance tip "found nearby". The Krottenthal Axe would have been useless as a tool. It was either a ritual weapon or denoted rulership. The description and the first photo of the artifact come from the website: https://www.bavarikon.de/.../bav:ASM-OBJ-0000000000000019... Overall length 27 cm, blade width 12.5 cm, weight 770 grams. 2.Socket ax with a bird, Ordos plateau, 4th century BC. Length of the ax 13 cm, the width of the blade 5 cm, weight 290 grams. Total length 54 cm. Oak wood greased with wild boar. 3.Flanged ax 39 cm long !!! and weighing more than one and a half kilograms comes from Mareuil-sur-Ourcq, France. The second one, set in a wooden handle, is also from France in Lignieres .... and is the only one of its type !! Combine socketed ax with flanged ax!
  6. Four early medieval axes. Forged from old-welded iron.
  7. A few smaller things ... shield-shaped charms from men's graves, forged from old-welded iron, and small utility knives.
  8. George,The sleeves are not welded, fused to the face. Thanks Frosty,
  9. Przeworsk Culture, 3 B.C - 4 A.D., Central Europe. Two belts with additions based on finds from the graves of Germanic warriors.
  10. Germanic spears based on the Vimose finds. The longest with an octagonal sleeve is 48.5 cm and weighs 330 grams. The other two have rounded sleeves, 39.5 cm and 38.5 cm long, and each brew 300 grams. The knife is a Germanic standard with a Vimose pattern from a single-edged sword. Blade 19 cm long, whole knife 30 cm.
  11. ... I have described it several times ... first in form then on the side of the anvil.
  12. Thanks Frosty! These knives were used in the period of La Tene, mainly in the Eastern Celts, although they are also found in Germany. In many books they are described as "ritual knives for cutting meat" ..... I strongly disagree with that! The way the handpiece is made proves it! The handles are very short and have two balls, they are adapted to hold them in two fingers and ask for cut punches, from above in a large or opposite way. To cut the meat you need a much better grip, with all your hand !!
