Help ID this axe type and appropriate length for re-haft

[Paid2fish]

Newbie here...I was in Sweden in 2000 and picked up a 13 inch(?) hatchet a corner store somewhere between Gavle and the arctic circle. It was more than I wanted to spend but it was nice so I bought it. A few weeks ago I looked at it and looked up the stamp marks on it and it's a SAW. A search suggested it was a descent hatchet (yay me!).
I started looking for a companion axe and found several (ended up picking up a Pulaski, and firemans axe, and others) and just picked this one up.

It appears to be a 2.5 lb. Gransfors. It's 4 1/4 inches across the bit (toe to heel), 6 3/4 inches wide (bit to poll), and 2 3/4 inches across the neck.
I would like to know what type of axe head this is (seems moderately similar to Maine and Hudson Bay) and what haft length is appropriate for this weight/style axe. .

That size and weight is typical of a boys axe. It's a Gransfors, probably from the 1960's. They were a budget import in America during that time. Still good axes and owners of their newer axes love to add these to their collections.

Does the eye look like an American boys axe eye or is it an elongated 'D' shape?

SAW stamp sounds like a Wetterlings. Also a nice axe.

The image in your link shows GAB under a crown. That is Gransfors old logo. It's not a SAW - Wetterlings.

Thank you for the responses. My apologies, I thought that I had attached 4 images and it appears I only attached one. Here are the other 3 images.

I have a 36 inch replacement for it but this seems too long for this axe. Thank you for any additional information.
Cheers,

I think you are looking for a boy's axe handle - 28". A full sized handle will be a little long if it is 2.5lbs or so.

They tongue on a boy's axe is smaller than a full size.

Yeah, in my view, depending on how you wanted to use the axe, anything from 24-28 inches would be appropriate.

Go with this advice! Standard Export head pattern from the late 50s, 60s-70s maybe into the 80s, with flat cheeks and top quality steel. You'll get good use out of this head and it's not worn out and it's a nice weight for utility and recreational work.
