i think it might possibly be a french made axe. i found this on the web, and its pretty darn close in design and weight.

A close-up picture of the stamped markings would go a long way in helping us figure out who made it. :)

650

then a eye with eyelashes. kinda like the all seeing eye on $$..... ill post better pics later..
 
I believe it's Swedish.
Maybe Cegga can find out a date range for us. The 650 is the gram weight of the head.
Best regards

Bahco has a similar design, which they call French hatchet. I think that pretty much nails is, since I have seen this design on some French Axe manufacturers' sites, too.

Its not a tomahawk. It is a French carpenters hatchet from the late 19th C./early 20th C. A lot of these have been brought over from France lately to be resold as "tomahawks". 650 usually refers to the number of grams the head weighs.
