Made in Sweden Stamp
I have a vintage Swedish made axe head of an unknown brand. It weighs 2-1/4 lbs or about 1 kg. Based on the markings and comparing them to your illustrations, I see some similar font patterns and the locations of stampings are similar, I am inclined to think it was made by Hults Bruk. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The “made in Sweden” axes are really hard to identify or date. More than one Swedish axe maker was making private label axes and stamping them with “made in Sweden”, there probably would have been a paper label with more branding / info. Certainly HB has done private label axes in the past, so it’s not to say this isn’t an HB, but without the HB stamps it’s hard to say definitively. Wish I had more info to share. Best guess given the stamp, if this is an HB, the axe is older than 1988.
