Dose anyone know what the original trade tomahawks looked like? I'm thinking the trade good stuff back in the early days. And where were they made?

The word tomahawk may mean different things to different people. Let’s talk trade axes of varying sizes. The small ones which were probably traded to the eastern part of North America are the so-called Biscayne style supplied by the French. Here is my original. https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=59975.0

several decades ago, the Knuck collection was available online.  It showed close to a hundred hawks and axes.  I saved it to a floppy disk and am sure I transferred it to other media at some time.  Don'tt know if it's still available anywhere today.
