Thanks, that seems logical...
Googled 'Indian axe' - that was useless as google thinks native Americans came from the Indian sub continent.
Indo-persian worked better, found a couple with very much the same bird, but symmetrically bladed axes, they were listed as mughal. Using mughal axe if found two heads very much like mine. Without hafts & no origin listed. Finally found a very close head shown in fernando's alignment, but with a round haft and socket. It was listed with a somewhat less than useful description as "Old Indo Persian Mughal Islamic Scripts Ottoman Turkish Arab Talismanic War Axe".
I think I'll refer to it as 'Mughal Indian'.
