Hi
I bought a little axe earlier in the summer at a car boot and would welcome any ideas as to what it actually is.
It's painted green, which I guess suggest the military.
It has a heart shaped hole in the blade, which I suppose might be something to do with extracting nails or bending wire (again military?)
The handle is not original, but there is a hole on one side only, where the handle goes through, which to me suggests a removable handle (once again military?)
I'm not a full member so I can't post a pic, but if you follow this link it's included in my latest blog post - once there double click on the photo to enlarge.
All suggestions gratefully recieved - and thanks in advance
