Item Details
Description
R-15 French revolution "Reign of Terror" beheading axe. Iron 7 3/4" head tapering into the haft. Circa 5 September 1793-28 July 1794. A large beheading axe from the most ghastly period in history where up to 40,000 executions took place in less than a year. This splendid example has a 17 3/4" long head which would add more weight behind it to guarantee a clean cut. It has a sub triangular socket which would have held the large wooden haft securely to the blade. On both sides of the blade is the maker's mark PR with an incuse circle. Haft has been shortened to 15 7/8". Professionally cleaned and conserved and in an excellent state of preservation. Found in the cellars of an old French Chateau in 1952. With a letter of guarantee from a dealer of antiquities in the United Kingdom. II
