 |
|
Hello,
I have an axe that has been in the basement for I think about 10 years give or take. I am not absolutely sure what it is. I think it might be an English Horseman's Axe. If anyone has some old MRL catalogs, or just remembers it please let me know. I do not know why I bought it and it certainly doesn't fit my Viking Era collection.

Hmmm.....You sure that's a Windy? It doesn't look really familiar.  ............McM

Yep, took off the INDIA mark myself. And I used to be addicted to the MRL magazines.

If MRL sold Deepeeka many years ago, then maybe. That is what I am here to find out.

FWIW, it's very similar to their Gothic Battle Axe. Might be an earlier version or something.

Well, Greg......Having seen all this.....You want to sell it? I've got a small itch for a new axe and a good spot on my den wall.  ........McM

And BTY.....This has been in your basement for 10 YEARS?............. .........I would have at least hung it up....unless your house is like mine, where I have weapons hanging where photos of family should be.  .............McM
