Default Hammer Poll?

Hello:

Another axe in my collection which has been puzzling me. Clearly hand forged, shape and style of a hammer poll tomahawk but i'm thinking too heavy...

Dimensions:

9 inches from blade to poll (the poll itself is 3 inches)

19 inches overall

but 3.5 pounds...

curious as to the age of this one and whether it was some sort of weapon or mining tool? However, I am fairly certain the forging dates to the 18th century here.

Thanks
