This is a no name head that belonged to my wife's grandfather. I found it without a handle and covered in rust. I cleaned it up, blued it, hafted and gave to my brother a year ago.

I was splitting wood at his house recently and asked him to get it out. What pattern would you call it? I'm thinking a Dayton or maybe a wide bit Dayton. Thoughts?

And here it is next to my modified axe I posted recently. Mine has a 4" bit.

Thanks for your comments.
 
I think you're on the right track with a Dayton pattern. Nice finish job on both axes.
