Slipp: Does it look like this?

I have no way of weighing the head alone, but IIRC it was sold as a 5 lb (2.27 kilo) axe. Total weight is 6.4 lb (2.9 kilos), so that sounds about right (handle is not original). Mine, however, is 8.5" (21.6 cm) edge to poll. Other dimensions are the same as yours.
I think you'll be happy with it. I used mine recently to split up some maple from a tree I had taken down. I only had to use a wedge for the largest pieces.
