Help please to identify this axe

Hi all, I know nothing at all about axes but picked up this one at a garage sale recently. I was wondering if it was Hults Bruks. The makers stamp looks different to those that I have been able to find on the internet though.

i dont think it's swedish. that is an incredibly australian pattern and to my knowledge, 5 star was the only forge making taz patterns, maybe check for an aussie smith with the initials HB

edit: nevermind i see the faint lines around the letters
