It followed me home (Part 2)

I fear this is one even Steve Tall might not be able to identify.
I think I may see a faint CH and possibly evidence of a number underneath, but I don't think I'm lucky enough for this to be a Sager chemicalaxe.

The Chemical axes have real soft bodies, two piece heads. So soft that a heavy hand on soft wire wheel can actually remove material. At least that has been my experience.
Just looking at the damage on that axe I would guess that it is a pretty soft bodied axe.

Perhaps you can see some faint marks that match this CHEMICAL AXE stamp:

That's what I was thinking.
You wouldn't think there's much room for such a stamp on it, but based on all the hammering the poll has seen ,I can definitely see where there would have been room for the arched SAGER to be.

I think that's it, the size of lettering seems about right too.

When I first took the wire wheel too it, I just got the impression of some quality steel.
And it's hadrened pretty far back, sharpened a lot but still a ton of hard steel left In the bit.
I'd say It's into splitting axe thickness now but I suppose the right filing could have it popping chips again.
