Default Indo-persian Axe?

Hello all
Yet another ebay buy under a tenner! I am hoping this is Indo Persian? If so a couple of queastions.

Were these weapons used in battle, as I often see them described as ceremonial and are they more India or Persia. This example is 73cm long with a 22cm sharp blade. Is the device opposite the blade meant for smashing armour? The axe has been given at sometime a rather bad gloss black paint job- I have already removed a brush hair! Thanks Andy
