Hi Evgeny,

i might be a russian item, because it was found there also.
Here is a photo out o the book:
"russian arm and armour"
This axe is called a parade hatchet from 17 century.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Dirk,

This is a ceremonial axe, which explains for its 17th c. assignation.

The basic Late-Gothic stylistic criteria are as I stated.

Best,
Michael

Dirk, Michael
Thank you!

Could it be a Polish axe, what do you think?

A Polish origin is imaginable, Evgeny,

Eastern European in any case.

Best,
Michael
