Slovenia Ebay Axe heads

Garry3, this appears to be a Russian axe.
The ‘spine’ in front of the eye (the Russians call it “beard” or “little beard”) is typical for most Russian axes, and while it was found in Medieval Scandinavian axes too (from where most Russian patterns originate from), it survived the longest in Russia, and became almost a signature feature of the Russian patterns.
The stamped letters seem to be Cyrillic rather than Latin ones. It is more like a guess, due to the pitting, but it appears that the first letter is a Cyrillic “G.”, followed by either Cyrillic “N” or “P”.

Jake Pogg, help please!

Sorry,gentlemen,i missed all that entirely,and have just stumbled across it,and of course that Photobucket fiasco has obliviated the photos...:(

Judging by Littleknife's decoding,could it have been one of these stamps?
(it's a topic dedicated to 1-ГПЗ,which is the stamp and the abbreviation for the First Gov't Ball-bearing Factory)
