Identify this axe please

[Trevor51]

Got this axe at a garage sale. Could someone please identify it

Can't tell but it looks like a GBA on my phone. Gransfors Bruk maybe?

 

[Trevor51]

It says on the other side it's made in Sweden

 

[DarthTaco123]

That's probably what it is then! Congrats! Clearer photos might help solidify the identity but it seems like GBA is your best bet. I know GB is Gransfors Bruk, I think the A stands for axe but I'm no expert in Swedish axes.

Yeah, looks like a GBA stamp, which would be Gransfors, or to be precise, Gränsfors Bruks AB. According to wikipedia, the AB stands for "public limited company" (publikt aktiebolag) in Sweden

Thanks every one

You're a good reference man, and quick! I think Bruk is supposed to be singular as in English it would be the Gransfors Facility/Factory/Foundry/Company. Where's forum member Aikonen to help clear this up?

The older ones will be stamped 'GAB' for Gransfors Aktiebolag - meaning "share company" or "stock company".
