Re: correct cw hatchets
Paul Boccadoro did the research, I just posted the link.
Check out the LR's research section. Several articles related to common hand tools.

Re: correct cw hatchets
several of the images shown are of the roofing hatchet if it matters. you might do well to look for a smith to forge one for you if you know of someone. most of the smith made heads were of low carbon iron with steel forge welded into the edge. you can often see the weld in period pieces.

Re: correct cw hatchets
Hi there muley John, If your asking about the hidden hatchet... look on the front of the connon carriage. It looks very similar to a roofer hatchet, but it has two metal exstentions running down the sides of the handle that are part of the head itself. plmSave me a place at the fire,

Re: correct cw hatchets
Thanks for pointing that out. Our friend has many leather tabs and strips nailed to his wagon like that, they hold a double headed axe a hatchet a shovel and he keeps a roofing hatchet under the foot shelf. Just in case something gets in the way. Really came in handy at ITV.John Clinch ~ The Texas Waddi of the "Far Flung Mess"

Re: correct cw hatchets
It's funny how things work out, I asked for info on CW hatchets and now I have three correct ones , then found three period sqr. spades , with the wooden "D" handles and the same in a scoop shovel. I know I have [or think I still have it] a correct CW pick. To much hardware for a cavalry guy, but I feel blessed I have them and not someone who would sell them for scrap steel. plmSave me a place at the fire,
