Ken Hamilton French Presentation Pipe Ax




1763 French Presentation Pipe Ax that Ken made for me. My wife got it for me for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I think Ken has made about 5 or 6 of these pieces in the past. All metal work was hand forged. Silver work is all hand done. The engraving is copied after a piece in a Museum in Paris. Handle is hand carved and smoking hole has been burned out with a hot wire. Rich McDonald aged the piece and put a little patina on it. B.F
