Hults Bruk – Double Bit Swamping Pattern – Pre 1988
HB 4 lb Double bit axe – gifted to me by my father in law(originally his father’s) it was in pretty rough shape when I got it. Cleaned up and freshly sharpened. There appeared to be residual blue paint on the head. Left the bumper on, as it was on it when his father owned it.

Best guess is this was part of the Agdor line of axes and made in the 1960s-70s, although it could be older. It’s hard to tell from just the stamps and the pattern. The steep angles make it look more like the swamping patterns in the 1930s catalog; http://hultsbruk1697.se/vintage-axes-hatchets/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Hults-Bruk-1937-Catalog.pdf hope this helps, thanks for sharing!
