This is an odd style and I don't really know the history. I've heard the shape called a Cherokee style hawk. The handle shown I do not think is original but I find the round eye odd. It may have been nickel plated at one time. I'm pretty sure it's steel rather than iron because of the slight mushrooming on the butt end. Anyway, if you

think you can use it let me know. USPO Money Order only.
 
Further research indicates this tomahawk is probably an item that was marketed as the Balanced Throwing Tomahawk and was made in Europe probably in the 60's or 70's. It's a pretty good copy of the Lewis tomahawk made by the Sheldon Wells Company, Kinzua, PA. in the 40's and 50's. Sheldon Wells made these during WW2 for the Army but unfortunately this is NOT one of those examples. Still, it is a traditional style.
 
I have one similar, mine is polished and blued, I picked it up in trade in the mid '90's, it takes a great edge, is well balanced, and is an excellent throwing hawk.
