So if I can I'll give my best effort to stay under 60 Euros
I don't know how it is in Croatia, but here you can get pretty decent axes in hardware stores. I would presume that the same must be true for your country? The good thing is that you can actually handle the tool so you know how it feels. Just don't swing it around to much as other customers might not like it...
Local man had to be tasered this evening due to trying out an axe in the store

Maybe a X10 or X7? If you dont like the look of Fiskars, maybe a Hultafors? I dont know how much they go for where you live?

As the axe stayed in his firm grip he proceeded to reduce a large part of the hardware store to splinters and shortened the law officers standing height by a foot or so. TASER international announced, that for the best and safest effect their products should never be used on Vikings or any other entities likely to be in possession of an axe or similar sharp implement.
Re reading this,Will you be doing much 'bushcraft' with the axe, using it for carving etc?If so I think you should go for a lighter head with a shorter handle You can always batten a small axe
Gotta admit I haven't seen 'em here
There are blacksmiths in the country but they mostly specialize on horseshoes or are in smaller villages where they tend to fix things
Probably a kidney or two. If you need funds, I've got a couple of cousins I'm not very attached to
First thing - shaving
