Indo Persian Battle Axe

Greetings to all,
Here is another recent purchase, being acquired from a reputable dealer in the UK. Described as Indo Persian from the 18th century. There is some slight damage to the blades, presumably from use in battle. It is light in the hand, very easy to use, but if held at the end of the handle the momentum of the swing would apply considerable impact on the unfortunate recipient.
All comments appreciated, thank you in anticipation.
Best regards,
Brian
