This rare, engraved hammer poll tomahawk was used by an American during the American Revolution. With the rallying cry of “To your arms solder and feight” inscribed on the blade, it illustrates the fervor and feeling that the cause induced in Americans, rallying them to the call for liberty. This hammer poll tomahawk with one piece iron head, baluster turned hammer head poll, was made by an American blacksmith, likely from Philadelphia. The blade’s inscription “To your arms solder and feight” continues into an inlaid silver crescent moon. “JC” or “SC” are also engraved on either side of the eight-pointed star, possibly owner’s initials. The blade features a semi-oval eye, almost round; haft of semi-oval section slightly tapering with burnt tiger maple. Hammer poll tomahawks were used by soldiers in lieu of secondary weapon like a bayonet, for close fighting. Tomahawks were used by soldiers as a hatchet, even parading with these weapons. Militia rules allowed for hatchets or tomahawks to be carried along with a firearm. Hatchets, poll tomahawks, and pipe tomahawks are often associated with the frontier, and militiamen. Patriots, soldiers, and colonists defended their homeland during the American Revolution’s fight for liberty and the sovereignty of the new country. As weapons of militiamen, tomahawks, along with rifles, were kept in the home in contrast to later practices of militia keeping equipment and arms in a central armory. This tomahawk was used by an individual defending and pursuing the right to liberty in his homeland. It is a key piece of early American militaria that speaks to the American style of warfare and home defense.
