During the colonial period there were many small axes of the type. They were referred to as "bag axes or bag hawks". Frequently they were carried in a shooting pouch with the rest of the gear.
These are great fun to forge.
The top one has a aged finish and a maple haft, the other has been sanded to 320 grit and has a ash haft. Both are 9 1/4" long overall.
Thanks for looking.
