AMAZING find - Old Rusty Austrian Pioneers Ax restoration |Beilpicke M.1896

Hi All. Please tell me, what is this ax? My version is lower-
AUSTRIAN NAVAL BOARDING AX
AUSTRIAN WW1 TRENCH AX
IMPERIAL GERMAN ARMY PIONEERS' AX
WW1 GERMAN SAPPER'S AX
BEILPICKE TRENCH AXE

This amazing find is a decent example a WW1 German or Austrian Pioneers Ax.They also have been referred to as a Sappers Ax or a Beilpicke Trench Ax
An infantry Ax was first introduced for jaegers in 1896, and the following year it was extended to all infantry units.
32 people in each company were equipped with such shouts instead of shoulder blades.
On the wooden handle of the Axe, as well as on the wooden handle of the sapper blade, marks were drawn by drilling every 5 centimeters.
The small infantry pickaxe was worn either on a waist belt, or was attached to a satchel.
For ease of wearing, a leather case was issued to the trench ax, which was worn on the sharp edges of the pickaxe and protected the equipment and uniform from damage, and the blade with which the pickaxe was worn on a waist belt.
By the middle of the First World War, covers for infantry picks began to be made of metal and woven materials.

I hope you enjoyed this restoration.
