Hi

Submitting this on behalf of a french speaking friend - he bought it in the USA, sold as a native axe/weapon - to me it looks african, but I know about tools not weapons... Can anyone give a positive ID???

Thanks in anticipation...

That is a mean looking axe. Beautiful.

What is the explanation for the variations found among Naga axes?

My thanks to all who contributed to a positive ID for this axe, additionally, Michel (the francophone owner from Canada) has asked me to pass on his thanks.

Is that a metal handle?
Is that a metal handle a-la pandat and Naga two-hand swords?

The handle is metal with a wood core. The two hand swords I have seen are all metal. I have one of these also
