My girlfriend picked this up in Wallace Idaho. A birthday gift for me.
Just curious what pattern this is. I could not find anything on the google. With the few searches I did.
The bit is ground down a lot. Weight is 3 lbs 1oz.

Well , guess I can’t argue with that.
Thanks Steve Tall.

Appreciate all of your guys expertise.
The GF was a little off put by the description.
But I’m quite happy with the find.

If it makes her feel any better they were first designed as a work axe, called a poll axe. Slaughtermen adopted them later.

Oh, and they were rated XXX so she ought to dig that!
