Where can I find a decent bearded axe?

[Ferahgo]

I have always loved how they look, so I would like to buy one. I would prefer forge finished and under $250, but I am flexible.
I would be using it for work on the property and, God forbid, a combat tool.

Bearded axes... are you looking for something lighter Viking/Tomahawk-ish or something more substantial that you could hew beams or split rounds with as well?

I don't know much about them in general but a member here, IPT, does functional/carving hatchets that look to be "bearded" that several members here have used, there are also larger ones with single and double bevels from Slovenia and Eastern Europe.

Maybe the question should be, "Do you want to build a ship or board one?"
