14th-15th century A.D. Stamped to one face with work smith's mark, angled lower cheek edge and a sub-oval socket. See Glosek, M., Pó?no?redniowieczna bro? obuchowa w zbiorach polskich (Late medieval blunt weapons in Polish collections), Warszawa-?ód?, 1996, pl.XXIII, letters A,B.522 grams, 15.5 cm (6 1/8 in.). Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection. The axe seems to be a Xa type in the Glosek classification. The earliest dated examples in Eastern Europe of this kind of axehead come from 14th century, but it is likely that this sub-type also goes back to the 13th century A.D. [No Reserve]
