I found this axe at an auction in the section: construction, craft and agricultural tools. I had no idea what it was.

Thanks to Detlef, you gave me the information in time. I managed to buy it for a small amount of money (no one bid).

Overall length: 800 mm; blade length: 245 mm; width at the end: 102 mm; blade handle thickness: 19 mm, weight: 1115 g.

Similar to Sema dao.

What do you say, what are your thoughts?

Thats the way to do it

. What is the cap on the butt made of? To me the leather wrap looks like an addition to cover up the holes in the in the wood that once had hair tassles glued in. The horn thing made of? also a latter addition? not native? If it were mine I would probably remove the additions. Then you have a nice original piece just lost the hair which is common.
