Interesting find! I haven’t seen a Swedish Army issue axe with the HM stamps. The HM stamp was used between 1884-1930s. Looks like the smith also stamped their initials next to the crown stamp. This is a pretty rare find and in good shape.
You can create a new view of axes by using any of the menus below. Filter by year produced (in decades), by the type of axe or
hatchet, or by whether or not the item has been identified.
