The lot features a gunstock war club tomahawk attributed to the Pawnee Native American Indians of Kansas in the 19th Century. The piece shows a solid hard wood, expertly carved gunstock haft with notch-cut trade blade inset. The haft is adorned with elaborately hot file brands, trade tacks, and old pigment paint. There is a pierced hole at the bottom of the gripping section, which likely held a drop of feathers or possibly a leather wrist thong at one time. The inset blade shows a median ridge on both sides with a square shank and double cut notch; the blade has an edge on both sides. The brass trade tacks are shown in various geometric designs and each has a nice mellow patina. Provenance: This is from a Virginia collection of antique frontier weapons and shows nice signs of true Indian use and age. Measures overall 25 ¼ inches in length with a 4 inch long blade.
