I have possibly a German battle axe that I believe is Medieval, though may be Germanic tribal. Please help!!?

The axe was brought back from Germany from WWII. Taken from a bombed out German building. The axe is one sided, with an eagle's head on the opposite side. The beak of the eagle is used for armor piercing. The entire axe head is roughly 8 in long and 6 in high. The axe is engraved with what looks like floral work. The eagle head is fairly intricate as well. I have taken the piece two different professors who gave me different opinions. Both thought the piece orignated from Germany, but one claimed Medieval and the other claimed Germanic tribes. If you are knowledgable in Medieval arms, please help...or email me.

Thank You

You will need to contact a military antique dealer directly.
