no i am not, not more than a guess. I saw some similar blades as executioner's axes.

But i know, that they used short axes for executions in Germany, in Berlin for example, still in the 20th century (up to around 1920).

I have problems to add a picture, so here is the link to a german medieval executioner's axe (Henkerbeil): http://heimatmuseum-oldesloe.de/content/henkerbeiljpg

Sorry, if i am wrong, this is not my main area of interest.

Regards Roland
