try not to pass out....

I saw some period (1805) pipe hawks from the era of the Lewis & Clark expedition at a museum in The Dalles Oregon. The heads were all bimetallic with carved brass bowls, brass hammers and then steel/iron inserts for blades. Like nothing I'd ever seen before due to the blade inserts. The heads looked attractive. The handles were unadorned wood. I doubt they would sell for the asking price of your find. WOW! Beautiful. Thanks for the treat.
