Nice hatchet with the crown logo and a barely visible GBA beneath on one side.
On the other side it appears to read 3 8 3. What is the meaning of those numbers -- 3 1/2 lb head? Although this wouldn't make sense given the weight of head and handle is 2 lbs 12 oz.

And any ideas as to the age of this hatchet?

Note: I reached out to Granfors Bruk but they aren't responding during the pandemic.

They make premium axes today. but they used to be responsible for the cheap imports.
Good steel, just not the premium quality of axe they're making today.
