Cerjak, is the hanlde end hollow?Is there a thread inside?

But the helmet might still at least be an old one.
These horned demon face ones with the fixed position nasal guards are not 'war helmets', but I think some are at least old. I think a load came to the UK for the great exhibition of 1851.
The chainmail looks right to me. The link diameter, the brass links for decoration, the overall shape.
Cerjak, are the links butted or closed?

Forum Search !
Salaams Atlantia ~ These helmets look like parade items as discussed ... I have seen postcards with Persian horsemen riding about in the 1920s wearing all their regalia like lost Knights of Old..

Back to the axe conundrum~ I was searching for references and lo and behold on Forum Search ! See "Sikh soldier" thread called Nice Indo Persian Axe and see # 28 Atlantia post for the perfect example of Persian Saddle Axes... I believe from my reference Anthony North Islamic Arms and Armour.

Hi, I've seen several axes recently that also functioned as a gun. As you may have seen Katars with flintlock pistols mounted. Here is one multi axe.

Salaams all~ ...all more or less the same vintage as late 19thC. early 20thC are technically Qajar Dynasty and are still collectibles and antiques though not war weapons... The same happened in Europe with suits of armour etc... It must have been incredible to see as late as the 1920s tribesmen roaming about fully kitted out in armour and equipments such as these. Nice pictures
