Help with Identification-Naval Axe?

Thanks Ian, but I'd have to disagree with you on that. Where is the hammer? It is a blade profile with a spike/chisel end. Hand forged. Someone else suggested that the head and haft were married at a later date, which makes sense looking at the eye profile.

Seems like an interesting tool that should be moved to the Miscellaneous Forum.

Agree Gavin. Over it goes for further discussion.
