This particular axe head is not a Viking battle axe; it is of Danish Viking design but probably of Germanic origin. The poll, which attached the wooden handle to the blade, is not of Norse design, and the blade bears a maker's proof mark which, like the incised design, indicates it was made by a Germanic axe smith.
