my first impresion was indeed something scandinavian/baltic.
I searched a few auctions in which i expected to find similair items. But allas, i didn't find any.
The thing that comes to my mind is.. why does it only have one axe blade? where is the hammer/spike etc at the other side? Most weapon axes i know of do have double functions (just like the Halbeard and all the variations on them)
A closecombat weapon has a disadvantage if it only has one function.
Though on the other hand.. the scandinavian/ baltic people are known for there fearlessness and pushforward way of attacking, so the need for a dual functional weapon might have been to much of a "luxury"

Much talk about nothing form my side, hopefully a real expert will show up
