Damaged Boarding Axe?

Thank you CC for the further comments.

Just to add, the haft is very old (my best guess would be late 18th Century) and seems to have a "blackening" to it.

Also, I could never support this statement with valid facts and supporting evidence, but this axe was found in the Delaware River Valley, where there was significant naval action on both sides in 1777 (the Delaware River Valley Campaign of 1777).
