Check out some farm sales where they are selling everything on old farmyards. When I cleaned up my dad's farm site I had a pail full of ax heads. All were old. Everything from very big broad axes to the double head trailblazer axes to the tomahawk style of ax. All were probably made by blacksmiths and not foundries. They can sell pretty cheap at some farm sales. 5 to 10 bucks for a tomahawk head to 50 bucks for a nice broad ax head. Rural garage sales on old places might have some axes too. Most old farms had a lot of ax work clearing land. The big broad axes were only used for hewing logs so they are more the wall hanger type until needed. Antique malls in the major cities might have some old axes but you might pay more.
Chop chop...
