Above: “Heading axe in the Royal Armoury<br />
We solicited an opinion from the Royal Armouries about our axe. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
kind enough to reply as follows:<br />
Dear Mr. <strong>Lindall</strong>,<br />
Thank you for your email asking about a potential 17 th C heading<br />
axe. Unfortunately the initials IP within a circular indent <strong>and</strong> on a<br />
striated background are not instantly identifiable – <strong>and</strong> in the<br />
current circumstances as I’m having to work away from the office I<br />
can’t access any of my references to check what if any 17 th C<br />
records there are of a similar mark. I will look them up when we are<br />
permitted to return <strong>and</strong> let you know.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are probably a maker’s mark, but sadly there is no guarantee<br />
that we can offer further identification. I’ve attached details of our<br />
so-called heading axe (XV.1), <strong>and</strong> should note that its maker’s<br />
marks remain anonymous.<br />
! 184!
