Axes
Hallo Marc, the descripton for the axes are "medieval 14th- 15th century". Crete was under Venetian domination from 1204 untill 1669, when the last city Candia, fell to the Turks.

Venetian Axes
It's interesting, I think I'm seeing the 'eyelash' marks on the large Axe .
  The second axe looks more like a tool than a purpose built weapon . |

Shamshir repair
Hi, this is something interesting, a repair of a shamshir's broken blade with an insert of steel in conical shape. But istead of hiding the repair they made it more defined with inlayed(?) brass. Actually the subject of old repairs on weapons is very interesting.
