British Hatchet?
« on: February 17, 2025, 12:23:49 AM »
Here is one that I just picked up.  Some marks on there.  One side seems like a "X".  other side maybe broad arrow?

4.6 inches x 2.5 inches, 15 oz.

That one is a real hand forged hatchet. Can easily see the welded wedge in the eye and the welded steel bit. Markings are often mostly obliterated on these old items.
