2 1/2 to 3 pounds and it has a 4' cutting edge
 
Nice finds, both the axes look like there's plenty life in them yet. Lets see them chop something.

Am I the only one that goes to car boot sales and sees broken dolls, golf clubs, mismatched weights sets and out of circulation magazines? I meed to get to more sales maybe.
 
Great finds! I also have a Plumb (mine is the Plumb Victory, whish were made for WWII) it takes a great edge for sure :thumbup: you got a much better deal on yours though. the one i bought was $20, but still well worth it.
