That reminds a bit of this mark (which I have yet to determine)
Is the eye oversized compared to a standard American axe? Stubai comes to mind just because they their name is stamped inside of "mountains".
If you scroll down to "S" there is mention of "S in a triangle" but that is translated from German so it might also read "S in the shape of a triangle"?

The stamp is unreadable but it reminds me of a Rhinelander pattern. The eye is also shaped like some of the German to Eastern European axes to accomodate Ash or another handle material.
Mind if I ask where you are posting from or where you acquired the axes?
