Default Bullova Axe ?

Hi,
Just got this, I'm assuming it is a Bullova Axe as I cannot find anything else similar. The shaft is 37 inches and the blade 6x9 inches. The shaft appears to be made from bamboo or similar. As you can see on the photos there is red pigment on the blade, is this original to the piece or a later addition ? Part of the decoration reminds me of a similar design on a Tulwar Hilted Kora I have, see photo, do they have the same meaning/origin ? Can anyone hazard an opinion as to age. As usual many thanks for all and any opinions/information.
Regards,
Norman.
