Hi!

It is fighting aaxe called Bullova. They come in various forms and yours is one of the more typical. They were used by Chota Nagpur tribes from central India. Earliest examples has a blade rivetted to the rod later single piece construction was implemented.

You have a nice battle grade piece from 19th century.

Hi CollectingNewbie, another nice addition to your collection......just one question ........'Newbie' seems to be a 'misnomer' since many of your posted 'pieces' have some quality........perhaps you should change it to Collecting-not-such-a-newbie-anymore ;) Or is that too long :)
