persian type saddle axe

[francantolin]

Dear members,

I wanted to show you this small axe,

Forged steel of good quality ,
Battle model ? Massive but sharp axe edge
Nice sponton spike , ( reminds me a tomahawk...)

I wonder how old it can be,
Too fancy ??
It can be 19th century based on earlier models,
Or an early axe head with later ''suns'' decos and a later shaft ( old but maybe not original )

Total length: 55cm,
axe head length:21cm
