Jeroen got it right. It is a German WWI pioneer trench axe. I dont know enough about them to tell you if its an earlier one or not. I think the earliest versions had brass plates on the sides, but dont quote me on that.
I believe Austrian rather German . WWI Pioneer axe it is. I have just about the same, but mine is forged without seam. It can be die-forged, handle looks ok.
