3 Attachment(s)
Hi guys heres another piece. I has very strange markings almost like fish stamped on the blade. Has anybody seen these before? I also need help with the translation please. Is it a afghan axe? What would this be classified as? a Tabar?

This ax from Afghanistan. I think it can be called a "Tabar." Inscriptions on the ax made later.
