Nice axe TVV!
Great explanation as ever Jim!
I also think that it is rehafted and the hilt looks verry awkward. It seems that it is from a modern lumberjack axe and that it has been repainted black. Also a part of the tang was painted.
Well, talking about bullovas, that was on ebay not so long ago and it is gorgeous. A similar example is pictured in Gamble's book stating that it is a 1750 piece.
TVV, I'm also in the search of Gambles book. If you find it please give me a hint.
