PS- I should have added that it seems a bit long for a naval boarding axe and naval axes usually had a spike to help pull away fallen rigging. The head also IMHO looks 'recycled'. Nice piece.- bj
Hi Bj,

Yes I agree boarding axes generally have spikes and don't look like this at all. I think this is a one of a kind personal weapon. The lanyard ring and belt hook make me think naval but I am open to all suggestions.
Scandinavian boarding axes were often around this length or even longer so European is still an option.
