Bulova Axe with spear point

As a fan of the Bulova, the ax heads are usually very nice, but the caps or the top spikes usually look like they are an afterthought or quite plain; yours is fantastic! Congratulations on your new acquisition!

Thank you both for confirming it is a nice original piece.
As for age what do you think?
18th century I was putting it as but I have no real basis for this opinion.
Regards,
Ken

Forgot to mention that the wooden haft grain looks a lot like coconut wood. It's good stuff.
