British Tomahawk Boarding Axe

Gentlemen,

I would like to share my latest addition with you and for once I am not asking for help with the identification!
I assume the handle has been replaced at some time in its life, when the marks in the wood were made. No marks remain on the head which is heavily and evenly pitted although as you can see a massive amount of material still remains. The axe is exactly 4 foot in length (122 cm) from top to toe. For all its size and weight it is remarkably well balanced and feels good in the hands like a tool/weapon should. CC
