Its in an antique shop in Venice Italy....Think you may be on the right track. Its mine now if the little lady makes it back to the states in one piece! The makers mark on blade has me curious....It worked for me. Looks French or possibly German? It is not a North American axe for sure. I am thinking French but I am not an expert in European axes.
