It measures 36 cm in length, 31.5 cm wide, sharp on one side...a punch with the letter P and C not sure for second letter ?

The shape and dimensions of this axe suggest it belongs to a group called beheading, decapitation or executioner's axes; they are usually associated with England.

I strongly doubt though that most of them are genuine objects, including this one.

Attached at bottom is a sample in the Tower of London.


Best,
Michael
