Identify possible gransfors?

[Comeththeblob]

First post on here so sorry if this is in the wrong place. I recently bought a small axe/hatchet. Trying to find out what it is. There is a "made in Sweden" Mark and what looks like the "gba" gransfors Mark. What's throwing me slightly is that the handle through the eye is red and sunken, which I think (could be wrong) is a hults bruk thing.. eh now I'm confused. There are slight remenants of blue paint on the head too that doesn't really show in the photos. Any ideas people?

Welcome by the way pal

Cheers for that, appreciated. That's pretty interesting. Gives me a little something to research.

And thanks for the welcome, I've only recently got into axes.. I'm fast developing an axe problem.. so think I may be spending quite some time on here!

There plenty of info on google...problem is research makes us stumble across ax we want,then need,then happen to have

I don’t know about GBA but I saw an HB with blue paint on a permabond handle today. I didn’t know they hung them like that?
