1943 Swedish Military axe refurb

[Twodogs]

Gone a bit mad of Military hand tools lately

Here we a go a 1943 Swedish Military axe coated in goppin paint ,,



Next job get the coffee on ,



Then and only then...,,start stripping

Three crown stamped on one side



Crown , year date and makers stamp on the other , Anyone know the maker ?

I know some were made by Granfor Bruk but not this one



Here is the end item ready to dig the roots out of the garden ,



I am a big fan of this pick good weight in the head ,heads not to long and a long full size handle so no need to bend as with the British Infantry pick .

Loads more info on this blog below ...

Nice work! Lot of class in that tool. I like the stampings.
