so.. ive been looking at the sparth axe, and looking for dimensions and stats such as weight, i found a tantalising clue for someone who may have done the groundwork https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3c/27/8d/3c278dfaf29a0d33ebfe406f309252dc.jpg the problem is that all the text is far too small to be read, does anyone know where its from, and similarly, what size were sparth axes, i.e height width, thickness etc

If I remember correctly there are literally references for blades of a foot in length mounted on 6 foot hafts.
