Have you tried the war relics forum? http://warrelics.eu/forum/ They have some sharp eyed collectors that have seen plenty of non firearms related items over there. With no markings, you certainly have a challenge. How did you make an association to WW2 or military usage?
Because of the green military type of paint, and the wooden handle.
I found it when i used to live at my parents farm, and my grandad had colleted quite a bit from WW2.
