Rehtaeh41 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi, I recently excavated an old ax and when cleaned I found it had a maker's mark on the side. There are three, all the same and they look to be the letters I and O. Does anyone have any sources on ax maker's marks? Considering where this ax was found, I'm thinking it dates to the early 17th century but would like to ID it by the marks. Is this possible? Thanks!

Rehtaeh41 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sorry! Found on a 17th century Pequot War site in Connecticut, US. Was told it looks like a French axe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
