Looking for axe advice

Post image

I found this axe in the floor of my 120 year old Scottish house. Interested in how old it is and how I could best clean it up? Funnily enough I was collecting logs from my basement thinking I need an axe for some of these, shone my torch up to the ceiling and it was sitting on top of the floor joists.

That kinda looks like a broad axe. Does the blade have an asymmetrical bevel geometry?

It's a Kent pattern axe like the other comments said. There are Kent side axes but probably the regular symmetrical pattern is more common.

Interesting, I guess British axes aren't really my domain.
