I purchased this HB axe on flea market for 14€ (1500 Serbian Dinars).
When i saw HB stamp on it, my smile was from ear to ear.
Somebody spray painted axe head in black, and under it is Agdor blue paint. Handle is original HB handle with red paint and Agdor sticker.
I removed paint with paint remover, filed edge to shape, and polished it.
Sanded handle and soaked in raw linseed oil.
Axe eye is covered with Agdorfix, cold stamped HB on one side, and 0.8 – 1 3/4 on other.
Handle lenght is 54 cm, and the axe have great balance.

I Picked this guy up from a pile of old axes, I saw the H|B and knew that it was the one for me. I would love to know more about it! the weight is 2 1/4.

I think it is a pre 1988 yankee pattern, it looks as if it had black paint on the head at one time

this Agdor has both the HB and Circle H marks and underneath it’s marked Hults Bruks Made in Sweden. What would be the timeframe on this axe? Thx

I recently acquired this axe as part of a large set of vintage hand saws .. this just came with them. I am very happy with the find and want to learn more about the axe.
