I have absolutely nothing to contribute to this very interesting thread, except for this tangental comment: Recently in DC I got to see numerous tomahawks from the 18th century. These were steel tomahawks presented as gifts to Native Americans (they were exhibited in the National Museum of Native Americans). The really cool thing was that many of them were very elaborate, and had elaborate etching on the heads done in England, then shipped out to the colonies.
