I got these 2 maces recently. For size comparison i have placed them near an ottoman axe. What do you think, ottoman or Persian? The shaft is masiff iron. Also i am puzzled about the size of the smaller one. Could this be a mace with such a short shaft? And what is the reason for the flanged ending at the other side?

Not directly related to the items shown in this thread, but I happened across this video yesterday about medieval Islamic maces and axes that may be of interest to people reading this thread:

(I should note that I know nothing about these. Also some of the weights he mentions seem absurdly high but perhaps I'm missing something there.)
