I highly suspect it's not a tool, per se, but a replica (If it's not original) of a weapon. There were many spiked hammer type weapons, as this, long ago.

With the advent of restaging old battles, I suppose many replica weapons have been made.

Horseman's hammer - http://waroftherosesstrats.blogspot.com/2013/03/wotr-weapons-guide-horsemans-hammer.html

There are quite a few other similar examples seen, if you Google Antique Spiked Hammer or something similar.... view the images tab.

As far as that first object is concerned, let me just say "Ouch!" and leave it at that.

Well, I'd say it's either a drill or a countersink. You
pound the right end with a hammer to set it into the wood
(or whatever), then spin the handle around to make a
circular hole.

No idea what it's intended to drill or countersink into,
tho, or why you wouldn't use a more orthodox tool.

Thanks for posting the link, I wasn't sure that this one is woodworking related so I didn't post the odd looking hammer here. I think Sonny has a good answer for it.

I think you are probably right, both about it being a war hammer and that it's most likely a replica. Just updated my answer for it. Thanks!
