It bothers me when I can't ID something and Google image search and AI have not yielded much. AI suggested Mann Edge but it was inconclusive. I guess they did make Norland Tomahawk Style heads so ita possible.

Not METCo, "D" shaped eye looks European. Maybe variation of Rhineland pattern?

The D-shaped eye is for sure European and in particular appears to be of dimensions/proportions that could be dubbed a "Germanic eye" and so is most likely from an Austrian or German manufacturer.

I thought it looked european as well. I did pick it up from a German guy but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Perhaps thats actually a W and not an M in the makers mark?

this could also be french even more if it's a slip fit. any chance we have a picture of the eye?
this could be a former oval shape turned into D by pounding stuff too hard...

D-shaped eyes also exist in other parts of Europe with slip fit eyes, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece. This one looks more likely to be wedge-fit and has more indications of being Germanic, though.
