That bend of the haft is very Scandawegian. Probably Norwegian.

Yes, I see what you mean about the shaft, if original, but perhaps the head is on in reverse. The curve was used to assist a cutting action after the blow, so the curve puts the blade forward not tucks it in.

My understanding is that the T shaped head was used in many places and the form dates back to the middle ages.
