Old ax

Not a Coup-Marc but a hewing axe for squaring logs into beams. The blade is one sided and canted, and the short handle is correct, it was meant to be used single-handed.
There is a very similar weapon in the same style (usually from Styiria), but the blade is centered and sharpened from both sides, mounted on a 1.5m haft.
