Hi David,
The general form of your axe looked vaguely familiar. I took this image of a fireman's axe off the net. If one removed the spike I think there is a general similarity even down to the slight belly on the side plate. This is just supposition on my part and I would prefer it to be a 'Tabar' but I get the feeling it is an early 20th Cent Fireman's Axe.
My Regards,
Norman.
