Military Hatchet?
« on: September 25, 2024, 03:56:54 PM »
Any thoughts on this one would be appreciated.  Has the old style "US" on head, hand forged and appears to have steel bit in it-hard to see from pictures.

5.125 inches x 3 inches.  Light weight.  Came from North West Ohio.  I put the haft on it.

I see a U, but not an S.

Union Fork & Hoe were around then. However, they generally used UFH as a marking.
Just a WAG....
