Picked up this little hatchet. It’s a 1.5 head… so I imagine it used to be a small axe that got a smaller handle. Seems to be made in Sweden and has a crown emblem? Possibly a Gransfors Bruks?

yes! i can recognize the crown and guess a very fainted gba . i have got an old boy scout hatchet;weight stamp is like 1/4 , the crown an gba are pretty readable, and just under stands "made in sweden" unlike yours.
 
That's a Gransfors Bruks.
I have an old GB 3.5lb single bit and it is also marked " Axe head made in Sweden ", I assume the hickory handles were probably made here in the US.

They were the budget imports of the 1960's, I can't say they exactly fit the reputation GB has today but they are a good axe.
