It does look very 'Buster-ish'. I would guess the CoG is near the center of eye. It's quite the substantial poll.
Certainly Chinese or Indian production, but might be fun to take for a spin.
From the website:

"The Silverline hardwood log splitting maul features a 6 lb drop-forged carbon steel head and a 90 mm wide cutting blade to make light work of splitting oversized or irregular shaped logs. The carbon steel head has also been heat treated, with a ground and polished cutting head. The extra-long hardwood handle offers superb control."
There you go, folks. The current approximation of a rafting pattern axe.
The Adler has a similarly large poll.

From the look my guess would be India which doesn't bode well - not that Chinese would bode well either.
