Hi Marcus,

Yes that's always a possibility with boarding axes but this one does match some of the characteristics of the Dutch version of the French boarding axe as in the collection of the Dutch Navy museum. The Dutch version being less common but having the rounded spike with an eight sided finish.
Regards, CC.
