This one was made before 1988, hard to tell how early maybe 1930 – 1960. The Hults Bruk ABY text was used on older axes. Prior to 1950 Hults Bruk axes were made of two separate steels. The main part of the head was made of iron and high quality edge steel was baked into the axe bit. It can be very difficult to tell if an axe was produced in this way. This looks like the Swamping pattern http://hultsbruk1697.se/vintage-axes-hatchets/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Hults-Bruk-1937-Catalog.pdf, hope this help!
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.
