Got this Brades 1571 cockatoo on marketplace today

Evening all, I thought I'd post a few photos of my latest acquisition. Snapped it up on Facebook marketplace thisafternoon.

Does anyone know if there is much difference between the 1565 square poll and this 1571 round poll?

I don't know but that is a fine looking axe!

Oh awesome! Thanks Bob. I was wondering if the black paint was original, I'm thinking maybe not because of the black paint over the eye and it having a repo handle. It was a very nice paint job though if someone has already restored it prior to me.
