It rough! but it has AXE HEAD MADE IN SWEDEN and the Swedish crown in a circle on the same side of the head opposite bits...but cannot read below the crown...then there is the 3 1/2 on the other side for weight....Is this a Gransfors Bruks, or SandVik or what?

Pretty rough I know...still some of that baby blue paint left.
 
I have a Double bit that says Made in sweden.the only paint on it is Baby blue paint in the Made in sweden Markings.I'd be interested in Finding out the Mader too.
 
GB initials indicates gransfors bruks. SAW would be wetterlings. HB would've hults bruks. Can you make out any of the letters?
 
Use the hell out of it, nothing special about the old gb axes.

from looking at it I would agree on the special part....why is it GB has such as following? The quality of my Norlund and True Temper axes is better me thinks.

I wod be glad to "store" it for you, if you don't like it so much;) it will clean up good, with some fresh edges and new handle.
