However looking at the opposite side of the blade, with that "hammer" head, i would ask: why do you consider this a battle axe ?

I think it's too ornated to be used in household. Sagaris has a hammer shaped edge - it's normal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagaris |

Always a pleasure to talk to a fellow Eugene  These small axes are difficult to pinpoint. Sizes and weight might help to identify it. Have a look at this thread, it might give you some ideas: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=13791 Regards Gene |

Judging by both its general Late Gothic formal criteria and the roped frieze decoration, I would date this axe head between ca. 1500 and the mid-16th century.
