I inherited this from a family member recently. I was told it was sold to him as a medieval piece, but from the research I’m doing these look like very old replicas. Just putting it out there in case I have hidden antique roadshow stuff I should put on Auction vs cool stuff I’ll pass down when I die. Has a crown stamp on the axe head. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm no expert on antiques, but that doesn't look very old to me. It looks like a very well done replica. It is very cool looking though.

The crown stamp is what I would keep looking for on the web to find more info.
 
Ive been scouring the internet for other items that have the same stamp, but no luck yet. I had a feeling it wasn't genuine. The warhammer Thats in one of the photos has the same crown stamp, so same replica maker I'm guessing.

If you found something else with the crown stamp, I think you answered the question. There are a lot of medieval re-enactment groups out there and a lot of people make replica weapons and armor.
