African Axe No3
 
This one makes me think of the Congo? then again I am reminded of those E Africa kidney shaped finger blades? It also has a more recent look and feel to the wood but I do not think it is new by any means. The halft is 80cm long the blade 20cm x 12cm. The blades on all three axes have been forged. They have all been cleaned of surface rust.

Interesting comparison to a 19th century Indian battle axe.
