A small axe ... for possible ID

[fernando]

Thank you for your input, Gentlemen,
Philip, i concur with your assumption; notwithstanding the existence of fireman's axes of short length and or atypical shape, this example sums up details that altogether direct it to a different purpose ... the square recess on the butt being the main enigma.
By the way, its length is less than 50 centimeters.
