Authentic medieval European iron battle weapon blade

This ax head is made of a heavy and firm iron alloy. It is rusted from years of being buried, but his still firm. Light restoration has been conducted for display, but it is mostly in its natural condition.

It was located in Central Europe, and This pieces design is consistent with other pieces known to have been used for this purpose. It is made of iron, and has a good bit of rust on it.
This weapon tip would have been mounted on the end of a long wooden pole, and would have been used like an axe, sword, and spear.

Pieces in this style were common in central Europe (modern day Germany, France, Italy, etc.), Northern Europe (Norse regions, modern day UK, etc.), and in Eastern Europe (Kievan Rus, modern day Russia, Ukraine, Poland, etc.).
