Has two tomahawks (not the metal ones) similar to the one I saw, "C", "E" And by the way, Brierlys is located in Georgetown, Colorado

This one is way more pointed than the one I am describing, but this shows how polished and smooth they can be.

17 . "A Tomahawk?"

Earlier this evening I spent about an hour at a coffee shop, reading. It was one of those places where antiques are nailed all over the walls and ceilings. As I prepared to leave, I noticed a tomahawk fastened to the wall near my table. I have included a link to a sketch I made of it.

The stone looked very heavy and was completely smooth all around. The end was somewhat narrowed and brought to a slight edge. It seemed to be the type of thing that could crush a skull without tearing the scalp. The end of the thing looked like it could make a convex shaped void in a skull completely pulverizing it.

Please take a look at the sketch. Some of you Indian experts (Snapple?) might tell us if anything like this could be found around Colorado (Brierly's!) or if you can find some info on what kind of injury these things caused in the old west.

Dave: Try this on your coconuts! Looks like it wouldn't take a lot of strength to make this hurt someone.
