Found this axe with my metal detector and have removed rust and put on a new handle. Could not find its identity in any of the old catalogs, since it has deeper indentations than on any other axe in the catalogs. The axe have 2 green splodges that suggest it was once painted green.

Good one! A bit more obscure than most axes made at this time. I don’t have it documented but the pattern is close to a Norwegian style axe and the stamps are from the 50-60s time period. Traditional tools has one: https://www.traditional-tools.com/how-to-identify-and-date-hults-bruk-axes/
