The spontoon pipe tomahawk design with the curled tangs on the side has been said
to have originated with the French whom designed it to resemble their Fleur-dis-lis symbol and encourage/advertise allegance
with the French. (see Southwest Museum Leaflet No. 30, 1963 Trade Tomahawks by Cyril B. Courville, pg 8)

Montreal, Quebec. I have seen another example of this tomahawk with the same half moon, stars, bird and initials "B E"
marking highly polished and also another one in Indian Tomahawks & Frontiersmen Belt Axes by Hartzler &
Knowles, pg 131. These have been found in the Great Lakes area-- in particular an example without nichel plating
was recently dug up by Kevin Hughey in St. Ignace, Mi. area. Another example of this PT with the tulip shapped
bowl was presented to the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh from British Commander Col. Henry Proctor in 1812 for his alliance in
that war.
