My first own axe that I’d like done some information on, please. Also, is this an original handle that I should repair?

Hults Bruk – Pre 1900s – Collared Axe
I have been restoring these two axes I got last time I was in Sweden. Sorry there are two axes in the photos the smaller one says HB but I have know idea what it is for. I would love any information, type, age, use, handle length/shape. anything. Actually if you know anything about the other ax that would be great too. there is not a readable makers mark, all I know so far is that it is old:).

Hello,i found this axe in the flea market today and I think that is a HB older model. It’s very rusty and I can’t read the markings,but it looks like an old type of your Akka model. Thank you and wish you a great day

Do you know if this ax was made by Hults Bruk, if they made a limited edition of ax in 1918?

Hults Bruk – Unidentified Pattern – 1900s
1900-1910, 2 1/2 lbs head on a 31” handle (for a 2m / 6’7” tall guy…). Still need to sharpen it properly.

Really love the history of HB. Just trying to learn more. I’m really excited to have my first one.

Hults Bruk – Completely Unknown Pattern – Pre 1988
This axe belongs to my friend. He bought an old farm a few years back and the axe came with it. It is old and battered, but the HB mark is still visible, along with something I presume says Made in Sweden. The handle is not original. It has been painted blue at one point – could this be a factory paint job? I am not able to see any other markings.
I have offered to brush it up for him, but he declined since it sees regular use splitting wood for the fireplace and does that job quite well. I guess – if it´s not broken, don´t fix it. I could not find this in your catalogs, but it appears similar to the Bjork, although without the chamfered sides. Thanks for looking. Can you tell me anything about this axe, just by looking at the photo?
