Indian bulova axe

Hi
I finally acquired attached axe, got it in a deal I had being trying to do for a few months
I like this axe a lot, looks to be the real deal and well made, but what I am wondering about is age and is this a tourist piece or a real fighting weapon.

I have tried close ups of the blade without much success and I am wondering are the lines in the blade laminations of the metal and would this point towards it being a true weapon.

Feels very well in the hand and definitely would do damage
Blade is 24 cm overall length is 82 cm, spike at top very sharp, brass decoration on haft has definite age to it.
Trying to take pictures with I pad so sorry about glare
Any pointers comments or information very much appreciated
Regards
Ken
