Tabar axe query.

among my accumulation of Indian bits and pieces I have a couple of substantial axes which I would be interested to learn something about.
They're in good sound condition, quite simple in their design with no decorative embellishments and are certainly of good quality. The heads and spikes are steel and the handles are solid brass. Overall length is 29 inches (74 cm). They were clearly highly polished when new and I wondered if they may have been for 'guards' use.
