Hello Stelios,

Neither one appears to be Persian, although the 2nd one is shaped a bit like tabar... Perhaps Turkish? Balkan or East European is also a good possibility. Is there any chance to get pictures of the whole axe including the shaft? Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. Nice axes by the way.

Hi Stelio,
the second one looks like it might be Arab, a 'Jerz' axe.
Ask Stu (Khanjar1) or Ibrahiim.

I think you are spot on! This also explain the rough appearance of the blade. I would still love to see the shaft and get the overall length of the item.

Hi Stelio,
Somehow missed this. Yes the second one is a JERZ axe, Oman. My email is sabiki@clear.net.nz if you require further information.
