8th-11th century A.D. An iron T-shaped axehead with roughly rectangular-section shaft, shallow 'crescentic' blade with convex cutting edge and sub-rectangular socket; mounted on a custom-made stand. Cf. The Portable Antiquities Scheme Database, id.PUBLIC-A06518; LANCUM-085845; SWYOR-9334E2, for similar; cf. Evans and Loveluck, Life and Economy at Early Medieval Flixborough AD 600-1000 Vol 2, Oxbow, 2009, nos. 2453, 2454, 2455 and 2456, p.257 and pp.263-4. See Portable Antiquities Scheme, reference SWYOR-93AC56 (this axe). 785 grams total, axe: 15.5 cm wide (6 in). Found whilst searching with a metal detector in Kettlewell with Starbotton, North Yorkshire, UK. Recorded with the Portable Antiquities Report (PAS) no.SWYOR-93AC56; accompanied by a copy of the PAS report. Acquired TimeLine Auctions, 30 November to 3 December 2021, lot 1289. Property of a London businessman. The associated PAS report judges this to be 'a find of note' and has been designated: 'County / local importance'. Iron axes of the Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period are scarce finds in the United Kingdom, especially well-preserved examples. With the arrival of the Vikings, mostly from Denmark, in York (named by them as Jorvik; previously Eboracum in the Roman period and Eoforwic to the Anglo-Saxons) from the 9th century A.D., the local Anglo-Saxon inhabitants of southern Northumbria were pushed back or absorbed into the Viking culture, as the Viking influence spread across what is now northern England. Jorvik became a centre for Viking attempts to occupy Mercia, then ruled by Alfred the Great. At this time, England was divided into several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, including Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria, East Anglia and Kent (by then, as part of Wessex). The Saxon kingdoms were eventually united under Aethelstan with his conquest of York in 927 A.D.; ironically, with the accession in 1016 of Cnut, the Kingdom of England was then ruled by a Dane. Cnut could be said to have succeeded where the earlier Viking incursions at York and East Anglia had failed. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.

9th-11th century A.D. A hand-forged iron skeggöx (bearded axe) with asymmetrical triangular section narrow blade widening to a broad bevelled edge with square chin, curved edge, flared wings to the scooped socket and dorsal bar, circular hole to the blade. Cf. Arbman, H., Birka I: Die Gräber, Uppsala, 1940, pl.14, item 3; Sedov, B.B., Finno-Ugri i Balti v Epokhi Srednevekovija, Moscow, 1987, table V, items 16, 17, 20. 901 grams, 22 cm (8 3/4 in). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. Iron axeheads of this typology show a sub-trapezoidal asymmetrical blade, often perforated through the centre. They are characterised by two projections spurs from the top and the bottom of the back of the shaft-hole. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.
10th-11th century A.D. An iron bearded axehead with broad flaring triangular-section blade and chin to the lower edge, round socket with lateral flanges and rounded hammer extension to the rear. Cf. Arbman, H., Birka I: Die Gräber, Uppsala, 1940, pl.14(1); Sedov, B.B., Finno-Ugri i Balti v Epokhi Srednevekovija, Moscow, 1987, pl.CXXIV, item 4. 725 grams, 19 cm (7 1/2 in). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. This type of bearded axe seems to correspond to the E2 category of the Viking axe classification, but also has affinity with the Slavic type of axes Y. Usually these bearded axeheads (skeggöks) had a longer edge, designed to split tree trunks into planks and beams. Some of the bearded axes were known as halfÞynna öx; the neck on such a 'half thin axe' was thinly forged, to make it lighter. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.
9th-11th century A.D. A triangular iron axehead with domed face to the circular socket and lateral wings, the blade with curved lower edge and side grooves, flared socket with flanges above and below; Baltic workmanship. Cf. Sedov, B.B., Finno-Ugri i Balti v Epokhi Srednevekovija, Moscow, 1987, table XLIII, item 5. 482 grams, 18.5 cm (7 1/4 in). Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. The axe belongs to typical Ugrian-Finnish workmanship. Iron axeheads of this typology show a sub-trapezoidal asymmetrical blade, often perforated through the centre.

Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972. These axes are typical of Baltic workmanship. During this age, the axes were the favourite weapons of many Baltic peoples. including the Curonian army which included lightly armed soldiers who fought with spears, shields, fighting knives and axes. A heavily armed soldier could also carry a sword, a helmet, a shield, and a wide-bladed axe. [No Reserve] Very fine condition, professionally cleaned, conserved and restored.

A Mazovian or Teutonic Order war axe, hand-forged with rectangular-section socket and expanding bearded blade; a maker's mark to one side of the blade and an openwork three-lobed flower tapering towards the blade; four notches on the upper part of the socket.

Property of a London businessman, from his grandfather's collection formed after World War II; thence by descent 1972.
