A pure (still used) tool like a Coupe-Marc, as eventually discussed HERE is not the issue in this case. Eventually when i bought my French coupe-marc example i had at the time enquired about such things with a local fellow collector and farmer, and in Portugal tools used for such purpose are not of a specific typology, as they use any 'practical' tool they have at hand.
It is visible that the langets in this present example are not an addition; they are so original as those shown in the uploaded pictures of three other examples exhibited in museums and having previously belonged to nobility collectors, in which we can rely on the weapon purpose plausibility.
