The Newstead types are not so far from the modern hand ones used today for chopping fire wood, I do in fact have a Roman lead Votive one of very similar style to the Newstead.
nope. this one is really well done, but the shape is totally different to roman ones. you could grind it down to a "roman" shape, but that would be a mess

Thanks for the response. Oh well....no problem. It still has a place in my collection.
With respect to the picture I posted, the one I have is exactly the same. However, the picture is not my ax head.
I will take a picture of mine once its completed with a handle and post it on off topic.
Cheers
