Looks remarkably crude to me. All the war hammers I have seen were clearly defined and neatly shaped. Don’t think you could stab anything with that point or beak. The long shaft ones were typically for infantry, and cavalry would use shorter handled versions. I think the Germans specifically call the latter Riders hammers.

It's certainly not the prettiest. Still, I think it's original, but it may have seen better days.
