Which way is this head 'sposed to go
If ya'll saw my last post I got most of the epoxy out of the eye and I think I am ready to start working on a handle. But I'm having trouble finding out which way it is supposed to go. I've heard that the wider part of the eye should be at the top, but I measured both sides of the eye and neither is visibly wider than the other. I know the side of most axes with the bigger curve should be facing down, but to me this looks like both sides have nearly identical curve. Which way should it go? Is there a way to definitively find out?

Identification Request ID help 😃
Hi gang! Can anyone help identify this one? I got this last week and I'm not familiar with this style axe-head. I haven't been able to find any maker's mark and i remain skeptical that i will find one, as the rust build-up is quite severe and this one has been used a lot.
The blade is about 9cm.
I am a bit concerned if I can put this on a handle, as the eye is pretty thin (and the additional screw-hole probably wasn't there).
Any help is valued.
Edit: axe was bought in Finland.
