165x77x38mm, 803g

From the famous Langdale Valley axe factory in the English Lake District, a large and very finely finished example of type, the best we’ve seen in 30 years.

‘Simon Camm’ is a name that many will have heard of as he was a well-known collector of British Neolithic & Bronze Age weapons with a keen eye for quality and rarity, seldom are such items found and even rarer made available to the private collector. After dispersing the bulk of his collection several years ago Simon kept the very best items that he’d been fortunate enough to acquire over his four decades of collecting until last year when he decided to pass these on to new custodians. We are delighted to be able to offer many amazing, high quality and rare artefacts for sale here. We know just how special these items are, many of which we’ve never seen, let alone handled. This represents a genuine ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity to own these items. Most are well documented, many with the Portable Antiquities Scheme, details of which will be with each item. All come with Simons own catalogue entry detailing the item and its provenance.
