Don’t know how many of you frequent the Hide so you may have seen this.
A member over there had a contact over in Sweden who had a quantity of Swedish forged axes and heads. He imported somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 pieces and I was fortunate to snag this one. He acquired 5 or 6 of these and they went quick.
It’s a genuine Gransfors Bruks made for the South American market. They were made in the late 50s to early 60s from what I’ve been able to find. It’s a full 4-1/4#. I want to put it in service but am having a hard time finding a pre made handle to fit it as the eye hole is quite large at 2-9/16” x 1-1/8”.
If anyone knows of someone who could put a proper handle on this I would appreciate a contact number.
