Default Doble Axe

It's Likely Persian and from the Dervish. That would be my guess.

Doubt this one belonged to a dervish. Most if not all dervishes follow the Islamic concept of zuhd (to forsake wealth and extravagance) abit to the extreme.

My guess is that this is a ceremonial piece, maybe qajar

with at least some even very brief, mentions in Arabic
nothing of all that, also, could be more Indian at my point of view

Default Photo of Axes

Here's a photo of Dervish double axes from Arms and Armor From Iran, by
Khorasani. They are of a higher quality being ornately engraved and more functionally constructed. Archer
