axe blade looks quite narrow. Check its fit & how it is fitted to the haft. Was it fitted from the top like a western axe, or bottom like a tomahawk? All of mine have a seperate sheet metal liner in the eye socket to protect the haft.

Haft looks like it was carved to simulate bamboo, Is the spear sharp? It looks real enough. My impression is a tarted up Bulova with all the optional extras (or a shortened spear with an added axe head.)

My bamboo hafted bulova and two others of mine for comparison:
