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
