I am new to this forum and trying to i.d. an apparently hand forged tomahawk that I have had for some time. Head is just under 7" long with a hammer poll. Blade width is just under 4" curving more at the the bottom than at the top.Hammer poll is short about 1 1/4" long 1 3/8" tall at the tallest angles down to about 1" at the eye and is about 3/4" thick. There are also markings on both sides, the first marking has the initials J D split by an x with one long leg and an arrowhead on the bottom of the long leg,also center punch marks and hash marks.The second marking is on the side opposite and is a simple 1x. Metal finish is very clean but also very rough maybe suggesting being sand cast from a forged pattern.Tried to post pics but don't have the ability to do so yet.Thanks in advance for any info provided.
