Jerz axe - Musandam Axe- Shihuh tribe?

Dear VikingSword Forum,

thank you for allowing me to register on here.

I recently went to an auction and purchased an axe, from the pictures the axe shaft seemed much thicker, however on arrival the axe head was tiny and the shaft wasn't as large as I hoped.

I sent images to another member who told me this is a 'jerz axe'.
I purchased this for £60, at the bottom of the shaft there is a big crack, i am considering getting an ironworker to steel cap it...around 5 or 6 inches from the bottom so it covers the crack in the wood & also get the top of the axe steel capped. Pictures are attached.

regards
