Colin & Tim, thank you for your comments. I'm on tenterhooks to see if someone else might shed more light on this axe. It seems to be well made and neatly finished, that is why I don't push it aside yet, or relegate it to the "tourist" box. Too bad the auction house could not enlighten me as to its origin.

Thanks, Ebrahim. Well, the three of you have all suggested "Congo", so maybe that's what it is. I wonder if I'll ever be able to ID this axe with certainty?
