Hults Bruk – Broad Pattern Hewing Axe – Pre 1988

My friend recently gave me some old carpentry hand tools that he inherited from his grandfather. Among these is a hatchet that I would classify as a board hatchet. The markings appear to be post 1900, “AGDOR: HULTS BRUKS A-B: MADE IN SWEDEN”. Looking through the old catalogs this appears to possibly be a No. 54 broad hatchet, however, the lugs are rounded on mine, rather than pointed as shown in every catalog. I would appreciate any help in identifying this hatchet, as I would like to restore it to original condition. Thank you!

This is a version of the No. 54 broad hatchet, some had diamond lugs others were made rounded. Hults Bruk used the circle H and HB logos with Agdor stamped on the cheek in the 1950-60s. This axe was probably made in before 1970 and after 1970s. Thanks for sharing!
