This is an original poll camp ax with the incuse stamps of "JAP", a circle incuse of "N" dot above and below; and a square incuse stamp "N" dot above and below. These axes were used in the American colonies around camp and farm for clearing and rough wood work and would certainly been used to carve out our nation in the 1700's. They may at times have been used for self defense up to and including the Revolutionary War. The JAP maker's mark is prominently displayed on the blade. The overall dimensions are 8 in. by 4 in. with a noticeable undercut from the bottom so typical of this tool. The wood handle is a replacement and a straight grained hickory or similar hardwood.
