Vintage Axe / Hatchet – Forged Steel Head – Original Paint Remnants

Country of Origin: Sweden

Vintage axe / hatchet featuring a forged steel head and fitted hardwood handle.

The head is unmarked, with no maker’s stamp visible. It retains remnants of original red paint, now worn through with age — a feature commonly seen on mid-20th-century working axes and valued by collectors as evidence of originality rather than later restoration.

The form and construction reflect traditional axe-making methods, with a well-balanced head and classic profile. The handle shows good age colour, grain definition, and honest patina from use.

A solid, authentic vintage tool suitable for collection, display, or restoration.
