Thank you so much for your prompt ID, David
 .The axe will go back to seller, who already confirmed the return, admiting that only now, after over thirty years, he had this thing undoubtedly identified. Thanks once more, old chap  .'Nando |

If I may add, this is a french-style doloire. Due to its relatively simple form I guess it is pretty late, circa 1900. The seam doesn't have to be arch-welded, it could be forge-welded but poorly executed. Older, finer doloires are works of applied art, sometimes with forged decorations.
