Description 1800\'s Pipe Tomahawk with its matching beaded adornment which remains in amazing condition for its age. This came from a Montana estate. Loads of pictures. Handle is cracked at the base and the head is slightly loose. Hawk measures 18\" long and blade to pipe is 8.5\". Metal is pitted in parts and there is one surface scratch. I\'ve included a picture  I pulled off of Wikipedia of exactly this item. There is an identifying mark on the blade. A similar shape in Runes means Strength. On the beaded piece the strands of hide are very brittle. I\'d love to know more if you are that person. If I have made any mistakes on this description please let me know so that I may correct them swiftly. 

\"The Algonquian Indians in early America created the tomahawk. Before Europeans came to the continent, Native Americans would use stones attached to wooden handles, secured with strips of rawhide. Though typically used as weapons, they could also be used for everyday tasks, such as chopping, cutting or hunting.

When Europeans arrived, they introduced the metal blade to the natives, which improved the effectiveness of the tool. Metal did not break as readily as stone and could be fashioned for additional uses. Native Americans created a tomahawk’s poll, the side opposite the blade, which consisted of a hammer, spike or a pipe. These became known as pipe tomahawks, which consisted of a bowl on the poll and a hollowed out shaft.[7] These were created by European and American artisans for trade and diplomatic gifts for the tribes.\" (taken from Wikipedia along with the photo of the \"Nez Perce Tomahawk)

I\'ve had many many questions about this itemIt has been suggested that it is either Cree or Blackfoot and that possibly the head is upside down. The answers to most of the questions I\'ve received are below.
The head of the tomahawk is not magnetic. I assumed it to be forged steel but I can\'t know that. It could be pewter but I honestly don\'t know. It is presented exactly the way it came to me. the fabric on the tomahawk handle is the same fabric as the top loop of the drop. The reverse of the drop appears to be the same fabric but is slightly darker whether that is a different fabric or simply more worn.The fabric on the handle is hand stitched and the beads around the top are consistent with the beads on the drop. I can slide the fabric up the base of the handle only about three inches to see that the handle is split and can feel that it is split (only on one side) and not very deeply about 8\" up the handle. There is a brown tie (shown) towards the top. I am guessing this was applied for someone to hang it on the wall because it feels like a plasticized wire. I have not altered it in any way.The head of the tomahawk is loose as I believe I mention in the listing. There is no way of knowing if the handle is original. There are no carvings or markings on it that I can feel.
