Peter C. Angstadt Presentation Pipe Tomahawk

[Steve Jajo]

This authentic pipe tomahawk is probably the most often photographed. It has many gold and silver inlays, multi-faceted bowl, ornately engraved on blade & inlays, and an ivory stem marked on the handle P.C. Angstadt-- Peter C. Angstadt, a Kentucky-Pennsylvania rifle maker in Berks County, PA. It is believed to have been made between 1800-1815 when he was at the peak of his craft. Angstadt lived from 1765-1815. The engraved 'F. Hoff' was the person it was presented to.

Kinda makes you wonder about the market he was making these for, doesn't it? Maybe not that much different than the custom knife and pipehawk market today?
